Folding Option Switch On/off?

[peterlaursen]

There is no way to turn it off currently.  But why is it 'hard to read' ?

[S. Lines]

It is hard to read if you use /**/ as a commented out line.

The folding option “sees” the /* as the start of a comment, but doesn't see the */ on the same line. So it blocks out all lines until it “sees” the next */.

For example:

/**/

update tablea set blah = “”;

/**/

It treats this update statement as a commented out line when it really isn't.

 “The folding option “sees” the /* as the start of a comment, but doesn't see the */ on the same line. So it blocks out all lines until it “sees” the next */.” is not reproducible witj the latest internal development build I use.  If you build has this it is a plain bug. What version are you using?

Please *report a bug as a bug* and don't *request a workaround for bugs*.

If i enter this

Code:

/* */

*/

.. the folding symbols don't appear what means that this “/* */” is seen as 'matching'.

Issue confirmed with this   

Code:

/**/

*/

(no space in “/**/”).  We are checking the code now.

Hi S. Lines,

The issue is fixed now and will be available in the next public release. It was a bug in syntax highlighting and not with the code folding. This happens when you have a comment /**/ with nothing in between /* and */. Thank you for reporting the issue.
