[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs 1.5 and SyncTeX

[Jeremy Van Cleve]

Thanks for the quick reply David,

(file-line-number) returns the correct line number even when the 
mode-line shows (??). 

Generally, I use soft wrap, but not longlines-mode.  I tried opening a 
new buffer and pasting my whole document with both soft and hard wrap 
and found that after scrolling about 140 lines into the document, the 
mode-line starts displaying (??) and won't return the line number even 
after deleting all the text.  Up to line 140, the text is about 18700 
characters.  The whole file is 128478 characters.  The point at which 
the mode-line begins displaying (??) isn't in the middle of a 
particularly long line (previous lines whose numbers displayed were over 
1500 characters long), so maybe its the total buffer length, but I 
checked 'line-number-display-limit', which has a 'nil' value.  
'line-number-display-limit-width' is 200.

best,

jeremy
