Hi Bernd,

Glad you like it. I originally wrote the extension for use with the
DataView (a more modern DataGrid) which has a "row" concept rather than a
"line" concept. I hadn't applied it to fields before putting together the
test yesterday. You are correct, if should be `textHeight`, not `lineSize`,
in the script.
