<p dir="auto">The “line number” does not need to care about most of what I mentioned above, ideally it would reflect when there are carets on multiple lines, but as the variable was introduced before this was a feature, we cannot extend the format without breaking existing stuff and instead a new variable was introduced with exact information (<code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">TM_SELECTION</code>).</p>
