Making the change opens the question: what do I do with existing values? The referred-to discussion suggested that: - the number be in lines
- the text in the options be changed to lines
- the number of lines be limited to 25
- if a number is encounted that is larger than 25 then it assumed to be legacy and is a number of characters.
TBH I don't feel a pressing need to change this. Leaving it as it is makes for less work for me and for the translators.  |
In that post I was agreeing that having lines would have been easier than characters - it took me a bunch of tries to get what I wanted. At this point I don't think you should change authors to lines. It could mess up what people currently have. Like my phone set to five characters so I only have one line.
