I tried a bunch of stuff like that; your thinking seems sound. I
thought mine did as well.  Sometimes it sets a line properly, and
sometimes, especially  with small textSize lines near large ones, not
at all. In fact, several lines away.


I am still not having any issues at all with this handler:

on doScroll pNum
  put the formattedheight of line 1 to pNum of fld 1 into tScroll
  set the scroll of fld 1 to tScroll
  set the hilitedline of fld 1 to pNum
end doScroll

It places the correct line at the top, no matter which line is currently selected, and selects the designated line of the field.

The thing that makes this work is that it does require having listbehavior set to true. Once that's done, the engine handles all the details without any trouble.

Here is the handler I used to set up the field content. I add the line numbers so I can see whether the correct line does in fact get selected.

on setup
  get the colornames
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in it
    put x & space before line x of it
  end repeat
  put it into fld 1
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in fld 1 step 2
    set the textsize of line x of fld 1 to random(40)+12
  end repeat
end setup
