Hi,
Could you elaborate on that? The setting just mandates that empty lines should be commented out as well, something that was impossible before when attempting to comment out a selected block with line comments. It's purely an aesthetic issue.
That already happens with real block comments, so I think line comments simply should act the same without the need for a setting.
That would probably be fine, this would just reduce the empty lines issue to calling editor_do_comment() in on_menu_comment_line1_activate() with TRUE as the third argument instead of FALSE.
(BTW: Your email client seems to mess up quoting).
Sorry, that's just how I format my e-mails. Makes sense to omit quoting the whole discussion in mailing list posts, so I'll do that.
