Screenshot of the issue

I believe prior to 18.12, the Source and Target columns use to show the first line of the corresponding fields of each translation unit, even when there were multiple lines involved.

Since I upgraded to 18.12, translation units show the center of the corresponding fields instead. When the fields contain odd lines, this means the line in the middle. When the fields contain even lines it is worse, as they contain half of each of the lines of the middle (the middle of the text).

I think this might be an unintended regression.

Otherwise, I would not mind too much about a line from the middle being showcased (although I prefer the previous behavior), but I find the behavior with even lines visually distracting and noisy.

Already fixed in 18.12.3
