Turned off "Show Line Numbers" but the line-number gutter is still there

What you are seeing

I turned off "Show Line Numbers" but the line-number gutter is still there.

#Why it happens

The setting is completely inert in both directions. The macro reads the value into an unused variable, and the code viewer it renders has no line-number option to pass it to. One layer down, the underlying editor defaults line numbers to on and always draws the gutter.

#What to do

There is no workaround today. Line numbers are permanently visible on code files. This is a one-line fix in the product (pass the setting through the code viewer), not a redesign, so raise it rather than documenting a way around it.

#A few things that catch people out

• Three of the four settings a user could plausibly reach do nothing useful: Show Line Numbers is completely inert (and line numbers are permanently on), Title is stored but never displayed, Description is never even collected, and Show Border only affects the empty and error states. Only document these with an explicit note about what they actually do, or the documentation ships four user-facing un

• Re-picking a file silently resets Show Border and Show Line Numbers to true and drops Description, because the save routine rebuilds the whole configuration from scratch.

• Those descriptions were verified against the code and rejected.
