This is just my opinion, but when I add single line comments (//) within my code, I expect to see them line up with the code. I don't think it would be a big deal to make an exception for comments outside a method (since they probably have a different purpose).
I'm not exactly sure if this is related, but a problem I have noticed, is that when I format code that has mis-aligned brackets, the comments below the error flush to the left. When I fix the error, the code aligns correctly again, but the comments stay to the left. I usually have to fix them manually. This wouldn't be such a bad problem, if I hadn't become so dependent on the reformat option (I have gotten into the bad habit of typing my code hap-hazardly and letting Idea fix the errors). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [Eap-list] comment reformat > I would say "//" comments should not be indented before a method, only > /* or /** > comments, but that is based on my comment style and others might disagree. > > Valentin Kipiatkov wrote: > > >>When I have a multiline comment where each line starts with "file://", > >>and it is at the first column, and comes right before a method, > >>the first line is indented, and the rest are left at column 1. > >> > > > > Do you think it should indent all those comments or leave them at the first > > column?
