yes, looks like force at beginning of line corrupts the styling for some comments.

i bet this feature never worked

what do you guys think?
the end of line is defined as ((EOL)) but i merely am parroting what i saw somewhere else, where is this syntax in the wiki/docu ?

when you have multiple comment lines, uncomment one, re-comment it with CTRL+Q, that enable/disable the highlighting from random lines above and under

it’s very annoying. examples:
