Description

  • these lines often look to me like mistakes until i notice that they are artificial
  • the lines tend to shift after loading:
    • makes the content hard to scan quickly when stepping through file search results
    • causes wrong line to be selected when the lines shift right before the click (I often delete the wrong line with Ctrl + D)

Research direction

Start by locating the XML editor code that creates the artificial editor lines and the logic involved when files or search results load. Determine how those lines shift and how line selection responds; done means their display is configurable and selecting or deleting a line does not target the wrong line after loading.
