If I have "my dog has fleas" in a field, the number of lines of this field
is always 1.

If the width of the field causes it to display as

   my dog
   has fleas

and the cursor is after "has", the selectedLine is 2.

But how do I determine that the number of lines, as formatted, in this
field is 2?

If someone hits a down arrow in the first line, I want to pass it to go to
the second line, but if they hit it in the second, I want to jump to
another field in another group.
