It happened to me alot, I often toggle multiple lines and untoggle them 
later again without any selection. Often enough I'm not exactly within 
the comment but simply at the line begin or after indentation so 
untoggle fails. I guess once you know about the problem you get used to 
it, but if you don't you might not know why the code you edit isn't 
working anymore.

Best regards.
