Hitting the ENTER key while in a block comment inserts a new comment block terminator

Open StingyJack opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

If I have a block comment for a script or function like this...

<#
   .SYNOPSIS
   Some Synopsis

  .DESCRIPTION
  Some longer description

   .CL
   -----
   2019/10/29 ALS BG12345 - added handling for slashes

#>

(".CL" is a Change Log)

If I hit enter in the whitespace between the description and the CL, Pycharm adds a #> where the cursor was and i think is trying to terminate the comment. It ends up looking like this.

<#
   .SYNOPSIS
   Some Synopsis

  .DESCRIPTION
  Some longer description
#>

   .CL
   -----
   2019/10/29 ALS BG12345 - added handling for slashes

#>.

.. which is invalid syntax and a broken powershell script. The color coding still makes it look like a comment, only when running it (or trying to) will you get syntax errors.

I had originally opened this issue with jet brains. and they had suggested I come here instead.
