Description David Epperly CLA 2023-06-02 20:00:50 EDT 
The ctrl-C comment feature should place the // directly in front of the first character, not line start

For example, ctrl-C to toggle ON comment should do
      //int myVar = 1;
not
//      int myVar = 1;

By doing this, when ctrl-C undoes the comment, the code is back where it was
And it survives properly when doing Source>CorrectIndentation

It's a very simple fix. Just find the first non-whitespace character and insert the // at that location.

It will save all of us doing Java, C++, and other languages many headaches.
Please, be my aspirin. Help our millions of headaches.
Deep Appreciation,
