tkinter text widget word wrap position

[chrisdb]

I think dlineinfo provides what ypu need, the vertical position of each line, but you need to use place instead of grid to position the line numbers. Even without word wrap this would be necessary to support rich text.

Thx, I was looking at the wrong attribute of dlineinfo.

A question though, what makes 'place' exactly better than 'grid' for the line numbers in this case?
