Niklas Matthies commented on NETBEANS-36:
-----------------------------------------
A related misbehavior is the following: When you have a line comment that is
indenten, i.e. it does not start in column 0, and the caret is right at the
initial slash, then pressing {{Return}} removes the indentation in front of the
line comment instead of maintaining it.
> Statement indentation after commented-out Java statements

> Key: NETBEANS-36
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-36
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java - Editor
> Affects Versions: 8.2
> Reporter: Niklas Matthies
>
> Within a method body, when pressing {{Return}} at the start of a statement
> behind a comment, the resulting indentation is set to the start of the
> comment line. As illustrated by the following example, this generally isn't
> useful. Comments should be ignored when determining indentation outside of a
> comment.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> void someMethod() {
> someStatement();
> someOtherStatement();
> }
> {code}
> Commenting out the first statement by pressing {{Ctrl+/}} results in:
> {code:java}
> void someMethod() {
> // someStatement();
> someOtherStatement();
> }
> {code}
> I.e. the comment is placed at the very beginning of the line. Then, pressing
> {{Return}} when the caret is right at the beginning of the second statement
> (e.g. to add an empty line behind the comment) results in the following:
> {code:java}
> void someMethod() {
> // someStatement();
> someOtherStatement();
> }
> {code}
> I.e. the second statement is indented to the start of the comment above. This
> should not happen. Instead, indentation should be determined as if the
> comment wasn't there (because it's a comment and not code). In other words,
> the expected result is:
> {code:java}
> void someMethod() {
> // someStatement();
> someOtherStatement();
> }
> {code}
> Note that, on the other hand, when pressing {{Return}} when the caret is at
> the end of the comment line, then it makes sense to indent the new line to
> the start of the comment, for continuation of the comment. The difference to
> the situation above is that here the caret is within the comment when
> {{Return}} is being pressed, while in the case above the caret is outside the
> comment.
