Comment editing behavior doesn't seem to match the extension options configuration for .vb/.bas files. (I'm using se 12.0.3 rev31 and have done little to change the default settings for vb.)
My settings are:
- Split line comments: true
- Extend line comments: true
- Join comments when joining lines: true
The behavior is:
- Splitting a line comment by hitting the enter key in the middle causes the new line to be aligned with the comment character of the original line, but without a comment character.
- Likewise, extending a line comment in the by hitting the enter key at the end causes the new line to be aligned with the comment character of the original line, but without a comment character.
- Joining comment lines by pressing delete at the end of one does correctly removing leading whitespace from the joined line, but the comment character is only removed if the joined line was at the same indent level as the first line. (Found that by accident due to the next issue - see below.)
Additionally, when pasting lines from one comment to another, the pasted lines are indented at their original level rather than at the level of the existing comment, while the next line following the pasted line (comment or otherwise) gets unindentend to column 1. My Comment line Location setting is: At level of indent.
I didn't find anything in the forum about this. Presumably not too many people bother with se for vb, but I find it useful for some purposes (like comment editing), because of better handling of background colors. However, this issue is making that a moot point.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
