To reproduce, activate "surround selection on /" and "format on paste".

1. Copy some commented-out text
2. Paste it somewhere such that it gets indented on paste
3. Select the pasted text, Shift+TAB until it's flush with the left margin
4. Press "/" to uncomment it

After step 4, the text is unselected!

It would be better to leave the text hightlighted. This would be consistent with "surround selection on /"'s usual behaviour, and allow one to rearrange the newly-uncommented code a bit more.

This bug gets me a lot when I'm rearranging code, for obvious reasons.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

Depending on how you feel about the IDE's code formatting style, and the IDE you are using, you may find CTRL-A followed by "Format Selection", CTRL+K, CTRL+F helpful.
