Note that this does not appear to be the behavior used in VS Code when soft wrap is enabled. Only the line the caret is on is highlighted.
This is likely done so you can see multiple highlights if you have multiple carets on the same softwrapped line:
This is done in Notepad++, however, which is more general-purpose than an IDE. It may be a subjective implementation detail.
Describe the project you are working on
I am working on a 3d mobile game, but the proposal is related to script editor.
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
Its just not the best representation and sometimes causes confusion and forces dev to look at line number or indentation.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
In script editor, current line highlight should highlight multiple lines if wrap is on and code is taking multiple lines, this will allow us to be aware of the current line segment, instead of confusion it with single line, and depending on indentation or line number.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
it's as simple as highlighting multiple lines instead of just 1 when wrapped line takes multiple line area on screen
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
I don't know if it can be done with an editor plugin, possibly can, but that's like adding an additional plugin just for something that could be engine default.
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
Yes, it's a UI/UX Choice for better experience, having an add-on for this is just extra hassle for something that should be a part of engine.
