Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.27] [Fixed in 3.28] Reformat doesn't reposition '//' comments properly.

When reformat re-indents my lines it is no longer properly indenting '//' comments. The comments look like they stay at the indent position regardless of how it re-indents the text around it.

Reformat this text to observe:

That is correct. The // at the beginning of the line is actually treated as a ; comment by the parser, and 3.27 fixed the bug that was indenting comments. So comments will now get left alone by the reformat.

The '//' comments looked better how it was previously. Now the comments don't match up with the text that it goes with. It makes it ugly and a lot harder to scan visually.

I'll see what I can do. If it's an easy parser fix then I'll do it, but I don't want to cause some side effect in the parser that screws up comments. As I said, it's an issue in that the parser returns the same tokens for // at the beginning of a line and ; and the ; comment cannot be indented by the reformat without messing up the script. So it's not the reformatter that I'd have to change, it's the parser itself. I'm nervous about changing anything in the parser this close to a release.

But if it's easy, I'll try it.

Confirmed fixed in 3.28.
