And that is whether a "bog normal" textField has line number that can be addresst
in the same way as lines in a scrolling list field can be addresst or not,
That question is answered, the answer is "yes, without any question easily, as long as you don't sabotage your own efforts" :D

@richmond62: Lines are determined by ending carriage returns (or the current line delimiter.) This is the same in both wrapped and unwrapped fields, and LC retrieves text the same way in both.

What's not solved? The problem turned out to be normal LC behavior which, once understood, rendered the issue solved.

Not knowing something is not idiocy. Refusing to know something is. ;)
