Description Marcus Klemm 2011-03-16 12:51:17 UTC 
When word wrapping is activated, the "highlight current line" function does highlight the whole "logical" line. I'd like it to only highlight the "physical" line the cursor is in.
Comment 1 Sébastien Wilmet 2014-12-18 15:15:55 UTC 
The "physical line" is called the "display line" in GtkTextView.

It is indeed maybe useful, I don't know.
Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2018-05-26 13:48:33 UTC 
It's unlikely that this feature is ever going to be implemented, so I close the bug.
