● ‘What you see is what you get’ does not apply at the editing stage: you ‘see’
the cursor when you edit, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document; you ‘see’ the
blue background of your edit window, but you don't ‘get’ it in the document;
you ‘see’ a string highlight (eg, in a search), but you don't ‘get’ it in the
document. Same for the currentLine: you will ‘see’ it (easily, thank-you very
much!), but you won't ‘get’ it in the document.
So, ‘changing the line color’ during editing does not ‘contradicts this
effort’.

> Text editors provide this functionality very well.
● Right. So, you are telling LO users to go and use their favorite text editors
if they want to enjoy this functionality…
