Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

Oakley's patch was intentionally very general, allowing line number heights to 
vary because of different fonts, font sizes, or widget inclusions.  This 
required positioning line numbers by pixel (hence canvas) and accommodating 
line size changes even in the absence of newline changes.  IDLE's need is 
simpler (fortunately)l.
