Commenting a whole method

Hello everyone,

When I try to comment a whole method, if I only put one quote at the beginning of the method, a window opens telling me that there is a syntax error : unmatched " in comment.

For some reasons it does not appear all the time.

One way to reproduce this is to create a new method , name it and directly press the " button on the line below the name. Normally you'll have two " printed and if you just remove the last one you'll have the window error popping.

I am using image #50074 and I don't know if it is a feature or a bug but I didn't have this behavior with #50001.

If it is a feature I just want to say that I find this a bit annoying :(

Cheers,

Matthieu

Hello,

This seems to be a bug with the AST syntax highlighting.

I will try to reproduce and add an issue (there was a bug similar that I fixed already).

You can turn it off in the preferences and use the old parser for highlighting if you are too disturbed.

it is a bug. It is because we changed the styler. The new styler still has some minor issues (like this one).

can you open a bug report, please.

Sure, here it is : https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15679/Writing-only-one-quote-at-the-beginning-of-a-method-produces-a-syntax-error

I did not really know where to put it though :/
