OK. So simply highlighting the entire line you are on, and not the line
number, would solve the problem for you, correct?
Then the next question is, should I make this option treat all
current functionality that highlights only the line number,
highlight the entire line? I'll think about this. Steve, what is your
opinion? Would this solve your problem?
Mike, do you have an opinion on this?
