in the recent release of VAX, after the commenting there is a space inserted into the code. This make it uncompatible with the native VStudio uncommenting ?

etc, before:

//Test

now:

// Test

is there any option i need to change to get back the orginal behavoir ?
thx in advance

I'm not sure what you mean. Is it from autotext producing the comment?

What are you doing exactly that causes the space to appear?

I would guess that the OP means that "surround with /" does this.

Which IDE, and which version of VA?

oops, sorry for missing the details.
yes, it is from the "surround with /" (ie hilite the word "Test" and press "/" key)

this is with VS2003 and VS2005, and VA 10.3.1534

This is how it is working for me, too. Can you tell me which version of VA you had when it worked like you desire? That might help to track down the issue and resolve it.

That behavior is by design. You should use the native commenting if you want to use the native uncommenting. The VA uncommenting is invoked by the same key used to comment: /

They differ in more than just the space. VA puts the slashes in the first column. VS puts the slashes in the column before the text on the line.

i am ok with using VA comment/uncomment together. And i am not sure which version work like this before (at least 4-5 months ago).

also, one other problem is that after VA commenting, it change the Tab into actual spaces -- which is another anonying thing. thx

I can comment and uncomment a selection, and the tabs stay (which is amazing, since I have "convert tabs to spaces" turned on).

Can you give us more specifics of when you are seeing this happening?

BTW, tested with VAX 1534 and VS2005.

In older versions one form of comment (but not all forms) did not insert a space but all forms of uncomment did remove a space. It changed in the last year so that comment/uncomment are at least consistent.

Like Joe, I don't experience this. Is it specific to a particular editor (C/C++ vs C#)?

i always keep tabs in my source files, and i have never seen VA convert tabs to spaces on commenting or un-commenting.
