--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed this topic in the design meeting as a potential solution for bug
150237.

Starting with a text would show no line number unless line 5. But since the
dialog runs manually users should be aware of what they do (line numbering can
be set in templates too, however).

One use case for line numbers is minutes where seeing all numbers is relevant
(so having an info in the status bar is not a sufficient solution).

The "faint gray numbers" could be drawn similar to line numbers using the same
algorithm. When it comes to print preview and print it would be suppressed.
True line numbers could overwrite the grey "virtual line numbers". The function
could therefore be implemented as a view option, if the effort is acceptable.
It might also be an easy hack. Alternatively we could change the dialogs
default to 1. => needsDevAdvice
