Bug ID: 451471
Summary: Toggle comment for Python code no longer works if
leading whitespace is present
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: 5.91.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org

ZIP containing two GIFs demonstrating the issue (5.90 vs 5.91)
SUMMARY
Since the release of ktexteditor 5.91.0, the "toggle comment" feature no longer
works on Python code where whitespace is present at the start of the selection.
For example, when an empty new line is included above the block, or selecting
multiple lines which are indented.
Affects KWrite, Kate and KDevelop. Downgrading to 5.90.0 restores the expected
behaviour.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a Python document, select multiple lines which are indented (an example
of leading whitespace on a line)
2. Press CTRL+/ to toggle the comment.
OBSERVED RESULT
Toggling comments only ever comments, and does not uncomment. Please observe
the attached zip of GIFs demonstrating this.
EXPECTED RESULT
The line would be commented and uncommented.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
According to a git bisect, the problematic commit starts at:
690e16d5e06477d5f504d1ab89c760cb0cdcf4ff "Fix comment toggling when all lines
in selection aren't commented"
