ereviewboard Support Multiple Line Selection for Comments

When making a comment on a code diff using the Eclipse Plugin, I would normally select multiple lines that I want to make the comment on and then make the comment on that block of text. This is great for instances where you want to show the entire section of code that will cause the error. I finding however that the the comment only refers to the first line of the selection when creating the comment, not the entire highlighted selection.

Steps to Reproduce:

View a review in Eclipse
Select multiple lines to make a comment on.
Right click and select "Add Comment"
Enter in text and click "Ok"
Post comment to server.

If you open the review within the Review Board web application, you can see only the first line selected is shown as having a comment associated with it.

It would be a great if all lines selected would be commented on instead of just the first line.

Thanks for raising this issue. We build on the support from the Mylyn Reviews project, so this might not be implemented upstream. I'll check and see if we can do something locally.

Any news? During code review I'd like to comment on a method and not a specific line or the entire commit

No, this still has not been implemented.
