My use cases seem to want snap-to-lines behavior, but use % values for line location. Perhaps, if snap-to-lines is true, line% could be automatically resolved to the closest line. I suppose this has the potential for mapping separate %-based lines to the same line number, but we probably already have rendering overlap happening if this is the case and we use absolute positioning. 107516 1 philipj 2014-06-09 11:57:38 +0000 Is the essence of this request to reduce the differences between snap-to-line and non-snap-to-lines? I'm sympathetic to that, in particular it would be nice if one could use the line-stepping overlap avoidance together with absolutely positioned cues. I don't know a use case for it, but it looks like a simplification. 107517 2 silviapfeiffer1 2014-06-09 12:24:27 +0000 I think so, but maybe Loretta can clarify. I also think it would make sense to apply the same line-stepping overlap avoidance for both snap-to-line and non-snap-to-lines. The one for non-snap-to-lines it too fuzzy right now anyway. 107533 3 philipj 2014-06-09 14:59:30 +0000 Yes, that overlap avoidance is rather vague, some unification in that area would be nice. 107566 4 lorettaguarino 2014-06-10 05:53:47 +0000 Yes, unifying the overlap avoidance is desirable.
