Minor Bug: Undo doesn't undo comment in/out

Post by jsmith »

If you comment out a line, then Ctrl+Z to undo, it undoes any change you made before commenting out the line. If you then Ctrl+Y, it will re-do the change. The line that you commented out is never uncommented. Comment in/out is not included in the undo buffer in InstallAware.

I've added this to my list.

Since we're on the topic of comments, I'd like to get some user feedback on an idea I have. I think it could be beneficial to create different shades of green for "comments" and commented code. Does anyone think this could be helpful at all?

Thanks. Yeah, I think that might be helpful. Note, though, that there are already two shades of green - there's a sort of teal color used for plug-in calls. Maybe commented code could be bolded or something. Or instead of italicizing comments, commented code can be italicized while comments could have no italicization.

I have run into this issue myself - where I WISH I could comment out a block of code while I am developing as I test different scenarios. This would be a godsend. :)
