Hello,

I've attached a patch that attempts to add line numbers to the basic
ide. I believe it is mostly correct, although I am seeing a couple of
rendering issues that I haven't been able to track down yet. First,
the scrollbar seems to jump around and flicker a lot more than it does
without this patch. Second, typing so that the window has to scroll
horizontally causes the vertical scrollbar to move to a nonsensical
position. If anybody has a moment to take a look at this I would
really appreciate it! This has been bugging me for a while.

There are a couple problems as you mention with this patch, however I do think that this is *really* useful and certainly something that I would have liked to see at times. However sometimes I think the line numbers can just be annoying ;-) so I think definitely this should be configurable :-)

The erratic behaviour of the vertical scrollbar ( note it doesn't respond to clicks ) is I believe due to the fact that you probably don't take into account the reduced size of the editor window ( because now there is the extra width from the window with the line numbers ) and in fact the width of that line-number window is dynamic ( e.g. can change as you are typing when the number of lines increases ). What I suspect is happening is the editor window area extends over where the scrollbar is painted and the 'flicker' and erratic 'positioning' is as a result of the the editor window and scroll bar painting over one another.

given the current state would you consider moving this to a feature branch where perhaps others might be able to check it out and collaborate/help ? Although I am not very familiar with vcl and/or ui stuff, I'd be happy to try and help.
