> The RichTextArea control 
> ([JDK-8301121](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301121)), or any custom 
> control that needs non-trivial navigation within complex or wrapped text 
> needs a public API to get information about text layout.

> This change fixes the missing functionality by adding a new public method to 
> the `Text` and `TextFlow` classes.:

>     /**
>      * Obtains the snapshot of the current text layout information.
>      * @return the layout information

>     public final LayoutInfo getLayoutInfo()
> 
> 
> The immutable `LayoutInfo` structure contains information about:
> 
> - text lines: offsets and bounds
> - overall layout bounds
> 
> TBD:
> 
> the platform can also report additional information such as:
> 
> - individual text lines' left and right side bearings (what are those?)
> - text runs within each line
