[br]I use the highlight and / to comment out things all the time and sometimes even for a single line.
This problem has been around a while, but I just today figured out to make it happen consistently. 
If you add a comment at the end of a line and then highlight it and comment out the line with a slash, then the line is replaced with the slash.  Pressing ctrl-z and / again does what you hoped for in the first place.

Old as dirt	Posted - Apr 22 2008 : 4:48:10 PM Well, today and in the file in which I am currently working it work as expected. I was highlighting with the mouse, but that works too. I will let you know if it happens again. Sorry about the false alarm. Ken
feline	Posted - Apr 18 2008 : 08:09:15 AM Can you be a little more detailed in your description? So far I cannot reproduce this problem. Working in C++ I started with this code: static void testGeneralCode() { int nFoo; } Then I added a comment after the variable, giving me: static void testGeneralCode() { int nFoo; // comment here } then using the keyboard I selected the entire line (I tried both Shift + Up arrow and Shift + Down arrow) and then pressed / to comment out the line. The line is always commented out correctly for me.
