<p>Well the toggle comment feature will only toggle comments with the comment marker in them, hence so long as its not space (as you identified) it will leave existing comments alone and simply comment all the uncommented lines, which is what we want.</p>
<p>IIRC the discussions at the time, toggle comment was used so selected ranges can be uncommented easily without removing the original comments.</p>
<p>But basically if the toggle comment character is set to space the whole toggle comment feature is broken everywhere, not just here.  Thats a user problem (most likely a misunderstanding of how "toggle comment" differs from comment/uncomment.</p>
