I regularly will enter data into an arbitrary line in a locked field, whether 
empty or just well below the last line. Maybe one wants to just see what line 
is what, or where. in relation to other lines or objects. Or who knows?


The workaround is straightforward, using the clickLoc and field and field text 
properties. I never despise either HC or LC for this very capability. Nothing 
is perfect, after all.


But why more logical? The simple, transparent way is to just let the clickLine 
do its thing.

I must say I like the way LC/Rev/MC does it. It's more logical. Why should one 
get clickline info if clicking where there is no content? Actually, if I 
recall, HC used to select the last line of the field if clicking beyond the 
last line (I am talking about list fields).
