This has been turned on and off repeatedly over the years. I think the
main problem is that some people have quite long scripts for which the
line numbers start to take up a lot of room. I wouldn't be opposed to
making it a configurable option though... but many of the options in
the query tool actually affect other instances of the styled text
control as well. I wonder if now is the time to think about moving
them to the main options dialogue?
