Extra whitespace inserted in functioncomment parameter lines

(1/1)

Zaphod:
I recently upgraded from 2019 (v24) to 2025 (v30).  I exported my settings from v24 and imported into v30.  When I invoke the "functioncomment" aliases, or the "/**" comment expansion in the C/C++ "Comments" section, I see extra whitespace in the "param" lines.  It appears that SE is trying to align whitespace after each parameter name and before the indent (tab) to allow for 6 character parameter names and have the tab characters all aligned.  The older SE version did not do this, and I have not yet found a setting to disable this extra whitespace.

For example, the alias is:

--- Quote ---/*************************************************************************//**
 * @brief %\c
 *%\s
 * @param %\p%\i%\c%\u
 *%\s
 * @return %\r %\c%\v
 * @return None%\vn
 *
 * Detailed description goes here
 ************************************************************************** */

--- End quote ---

When expanded, the param lines look like this:


--- Code: ---/***********************************************//**
 * @brief
 *
 * @param a     \t
 * @param bb    \t
 * @param ccc   \t
 * @param dddd  \t
 * @param eeeee \t

--- End code ---

Clark:
Place your cursor inside a javadoc comment
Go to Document>Edit javadoc Comment
Click on the "Options..." button
Uncheck "Align parameter comments to longest parameter name"
Press OK

That should do the trick.
