Line Display should default to True #2382

As an instructor, I probably have about 75% of my students using BlueJ and I need to be able to point out errors on assignment submissions by referring to a line or lines of code. This year I took the time to walk through how to change the setting on Windows and MacOS but it felt like time wasted. I need to be able to provide feedback on student assignment submissions by using a line number or numbers.

I'm not sure if we'll change the default (we will discuss it) but you have led me to uncover a bug. It is meant to be possible to right-click the line margin and turn on line numbers from a menu there, but I just discovered that feature is not working at the moment (bug #2383). So in the next BlueJ version it will at least have an easier way to turn them on/off, by right-clicking the margin and using the menu there.
