Description Mark A. Taff 2010-04-03 22:46:02 UTC 
Version:           4.0 beta 9 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Using Kate editor component.  The comment function (ctrl+D) fails to make a multi-line comment in a php file with mixed php/html.

In the original file, there were several html & php lines outside of php tags.  I wanted to comment them out in php, as opposed to in html, so they would ever get output to the browser.  I surround the html in question with php tags, and then highlighted the html lines I wanted to comment out.  Pressing the comment shortcut (ctrl-d) did not comment them out.

ctrl-d will properly create a single-line comment on the current line (using //), or the currently selected line (using /* ... */).

The expected behavior is for kdevelop to comment multiple lines, using the multi-line comment syntax for the outer-most block, php in this case.  I note that this issue also exists in kwrite3, so this is seemingly not a regression.

I will attach an original source file, as well as a unified diff simulating the expecting comment behavior.
