then in the VA Outline I can't see any of the actual comment text without some serious horizontal scrolling. It'd be nice if it would collapse such strings down to something more minimal.
Place keyboard focus into VA outline and then hover the mouse over the comment item. You will then get a multi-line tooltip showing you the text in a much more readable format.
The problem with changing the displayed text is that it no longer reflects what you have in the file, which could cause problems when using VA Outline to reorder the current file via drag and drop.
which I use to break code files up into logical blocks, or sometimes to simply mark the start of a function that does not need any further documentation.
The solution here is to only try and collapse a comment when there are words in it, which does not sound to hard to detect, at least most of the time:
