Yeah but if you put that text into a scrolling field then put the number
lines of the field, you get 3 (which is correct according to your analogy),
but I can click on line 4 of the field.

You can argue one way or the other if it's consistent or not (and many
people have), but it's definitely confusing to LC newcomers.

I'm in favor of the change being suggested on the forum as long as there's
a property to control which way it works; that way no code breaks and folks
who think the existing way is inconsistent/confusing can choose to use the
new way.
