GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 510599
"Stream Comment/Uncomment" does not work as expected
Last modified: 2008-02-10 12:38:14 UTC
At least, I couldn't find any source file where this actually had any effect. I am more or less asking because I need to translate it have no real idea what it does. Translator comment would maybe also be helpful.
btw, same (translator comment) for "Stream Comment"
Box comment/uncomment does work in svn trunk. You need to have a selection made for it to work. Same for Stream comment/uncomment. Either it was fixed since you reported the bug, in which case we can resolved it, or did you mean something else?
Well, we need tranlator comments beside the strings because nobody can know what "Stream Comment" or "Box Comment" really means!
Upon investigation, this is what I found: 1) Block comment: Uses 'line comment' (comment that affects only single line such as '//' or '#') and comments a block of lines. 2) Stream comment: Uses 'stream comment' (comment that affects a stream of characters -- has start and end comment code) and comments any code from arbitrary start position to arbitrary end position (can be in middle of lines). 3) Box comment: Uses 'stream comment' to comment a block of lines, usually with some decorations, to give an appearance of box. Note, In anjuta 'Stream comment' is broken and buggy. It currently does exactly what block comment does. It should instead comment an arbitrary text selection with stream comment begin/end codes.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
