Life is good when you have fixed line heights, dontwrap or listbehavior
and you don't use spacebefore, spaceafter or imageSource
As you might expect, I live in opposite world: with multiple fonts, text
sixes, spacebefore, spaceafter, word wrap and imageSource. (I am
trying to build a special purpose e-Book where the user can shrink and
expand the text as needed with everything scaling, looking really nice
with fluid page turning.)
pageranges, and formattedheight not working are forcing me to work a lot
harder than I would like, because I am not willing to compromise on how
it looks.

I tried a bunch of stuff like that; your thinking seems sound. I
thought mine did as well. Sometimes it sets a line properly, and
sometimes, especially with small textSize lines near large ones, not
at all. In fact, several lines away.
I am still not having any issues at all with this handler:
on doScroll pNum
put the formattedheight of line 1 to pNum of fld 1 into tScroll
set the scroll of fld 1 to tScroll
set the hilitedline of fld 1 to pNum
end doScroll
It places the correct line at the top, no matter which line is
currently selected, and selects the designated line of the field.
The thing that makes this work is that it does require having
listbehavior set to true. Once that's done, the engine handles all the
details without any trouble.
Here is the handler I used to set up the field content. I add the line
numbers so I can see whether the correct line does in fact get selected.
on setup
get the colornames
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in it
put x & space before line x of it
end repeat
put it into fld 1
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in fld 1 step 2
set the textsize of line x of fld 1 to random(40)+12
end repeat
end setup
