Hi, ALL, On the link https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/GtkTextIter.html#gtk-text-iter-get-line it does not say whether it will return the number of physical lines or number of logical lines. Could someone please sched some light on this?
A GtkTextBuffer must return the physical line number (number of newlines between the beginning of buffer and the iterator's position) because a text buffer doesn't have the information about fonts in use and the width of the text view.
Note that showing a line number of a display line isn't very useful to the end user. Physical line numbers help navigation based on diagnostics from external tools (compilers, syntax checkers, etc.), while display lines provide no such benefits.
