+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #17273 +++

Currently if you set line:-2 and the line wraps, the -1 line gets filled with
text. If you wanted to have the -1 line "free", that seems annoying, especially
since you can't know if the line will wrap or not.

Use case: authoring subtitles and wanting to avoid overlapping a particular
part of
the video, for instance a sign.

Proposed solution: introduce a setting to make horizontal lines grow upwards
instead of downwards.
