For out project specifically, this is not true. Having such a huge userbase,
any even moderately wanted feature gets many requests. The usual "people just
don't shy" idea doesn't work here. "We have a single request is a synonym" to
"it's most likely a niche request". But I don't say just no; I ask you to
provide an evidence (or wait until it builds).

I don't read there what you request. To the contrary; my understanding is, that
the run-over lines shouldn't depend on how the bullet/number affected the first
line.
