Title: Toggle comment not working very well
Post by: rogeriodec on March 21, 2018, 11:50:45 pm

Windows 8.1.
svn 11313
----------
Selecting 2 contiguous lines, the first one being marked as a comment and the second not, the Edit-> Toggle comment command does not reverse the first line as it should, but only comments the two lines.

Ex:

Code

//                    yant = yfrc;
                    xant = intersection.first;

After selecting the two lines and apply Toggle comment:

Code

////                    yant = yfrc;
//                    xant = intersection.first;

Is it a bug?

This looks like the sane behaviour in this case.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.
Toggle means to reverse the situation of the lines.
That is, a line that is a comment, becomes a normal line and the line that is normal, becomes comment.
See Notepad ++, for example.

Code

	aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	// xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Select both line and press Ctrl+Q:

Code

	aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	// xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So notepad++ does nothing in this case?

Sorry, mistyped.

After pressing Ctrl+Q (on Notepad++):

Code

	// aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I agree that toggle should work the way rogeriodec suggests, unless it's specifically intended not to toggle per-line.  Otherwise the function is of limited usefulness, such as if you had a long block of code that toggles between two different test configurations of code by swapping which part is commented.

I created ticket #650 describing some issues with the various comment functions.
