Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-12-14 20:56:50 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Consider (C++) 

A
B
C

I select all lines, comment, and what I get?

/*A
B
C*/

After some time I would like to uncomment B. In this example this is trivial, in practice -- it is a headache. With line comment it would be simple, I would get:

//A
//B
//C

I would put text cursor at B, and uncomment it. Voila.

I did a lot to make kate work that way, and AFAICS it does, both v. 2x and 3.

Do you have empty space that is not selected somewhere?

Could you provide detailled instructions about how you select to make it not 
work correctly?

I agree, but there are cases like above when Kate uses detailed comment, when line comment would be better.

|A
B
C
|#include <iostream>

| denotes start and end of selection. Detailed comment will be used however, here:

|A
B
C
|
#include <iostream>

line comment will be used.
Comment 3 Dominik Haumann 2010-11-07 21:01:22 UTC 
Maciej: Can you please retry? Maybe it works for KDE 4.5 already, if not, please try upcoming Kate for KDE 4.6. You can very easily build it according to http://kate-editor.org/get-it/
