Bug 457551

SUMMARY

Text folding is broken for multi-line comments with exactly two lines.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open one of the attached minimal examples.
2. Hover the mouse over the folding indicator of the two-line comment.
3. Do a left-click.

OBSERVED RESULT
When hovering the mouse over the folding indicator of the tow-line comment, not only the comment itself is selected, but the whole surrounding block. When doing the left-click, this whole block is folded.

EXPECTED RESULT
It seems that for text folding, the syntax highlighting engine always keeps the first and the last line visible (which is a reasonable behaviour, given that apart from the hidden text, there might be more content on these lines that is not part of the comment and should therefore not be hidden). Given this policy, the correct behaviour for two-line comments would be to not show the folding indicator at all - just as it does currently also for multi-line comments with only one single line.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This seems to be a general problem of the text folding implementation. It occurs across various languages and seems therefore be independent of the individual syntax files (.xml files).
