Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

Thanks Ralph, but no, that doesn't make any difference. Usually the "char 1 to -1" addition helps where there is an implied trailing delimiter. In this case, the problem occurs even for the simplest chunk expression of just a single line (e.g. "line N") where the delimiter is never included.
