lnav version
v0.14.0
Describe the bug
Unable to instruct lnav to open a file scrolled to a particular line with either the file:linenumber method i've seen mentioned or with -c ":goto line number"
This may be specific to a log format and file size as I am able to go to a specific line for a plain text file with lnav file:linenumber. I can't share the specific file I'm having problems with right now so I will have to try crafting a specific test file for this later.
In the debug logs for the successful case I see:

I don't see that on the failing case, i see this:
