NOT a solution  rather a TEMPORARY solution which only works only for the current editor and current session   Simply right click on the place where the line-numbers should be  and there you ll see a small menu   then  mark the  Show Line Numbers  option     Please note that this only works on a per-file basis  however   Enjoy
