A related question to positioning a line within a field, is positioning
a chunk within a line that is wrapped. I am stumped on this one and it
may need engine support. I don't know how to figure out the scroll
value of something in the middle of a wrapped line. In the thread
discussing scroll positioning within a wrapped field we see how to find
the top. I figured out how to get the bottom using James Hales
approach. (code in the forum and MasterLibrary)
Does anyone see a way to calculate the scroll position of a chunk within
a line that is wrapped?
Regards
Mike

Thanks - I wasn't aware of that bug, but was able to find it:

Hopefully it'll get addressed for 6.7.1 and 7.0.1, since it's needed
for a wide range of tasks relating to text metrics.
