I hope this question is not too stupid, but I cannot find an option to make line numbers visible within the javascript editor.

It's the first time I use JS in C3, and I wonder how to do this. Sometimes I get errors with line numbers in the console output, and it's not easy to find the regarding lines.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ah, I think I understand now why there seems to be no answer to this question:

The line numbers ARE displayed — but only when the JS editor is open or has focus.

As soon as you use the cursor for another task, the line numbers disappear and only the JS code is displayed.

In my opinion, it would be better or “nicer” if the line numbers remained visible at all times.

But the current solution is also OK for me. My only concern was that I could find the line numbers of problems that the console throws up.

The fact that you have to switch to the editor to do this is not ideal, but it's OK.
