The line number issue has been brought up many times, and there are posts in the Bug Reports and Feature Suggestions sections of this forum. Some Linux distro's/WINE have problems with the line numbers in the scripts editor, however, this should not affect the working of the script.
Like Constantine, I have no problems running mIRC or using the script editor under WINE. The Linux distro that I use is Xandros, and it is nice to see that there are other distro's that don't have this problem.
