Please Kill Trailing Space Warnings within Comment Blocks

Hi Support,

This using 8.0 beta 007 - In the Macro Scheduler editor, it now makes trailing spaces on lines of code visible by coloring them grey, that's great.

If I use /* and */ around a block of lines, I see that the grey coloring goes away on any lines ending with a space within the comments block... That's good too since these are now comments and those spaces can't affect the operation of the macro... so I don't need them pointed out to me.

However, when I save the update and close the screen in the editor, why does the popup Warning window still list out all lines that end in a space... even showing those that are now within the comment block?

I found this as I often save snippets of code from forum posts for later use. I create a new example macro and past the entire forum post in there. Then, I comment out everything that is not the script I want as an example. When I save and exit, the warning spits out so many lines with spaces at the end, the popup window is taller than the screen itself.

Comments are comments... why warn about comment lines that end in a space? Can this behavior be changed? What is your take on this?

Also, I'm curious as to how others may be saving Macro Scheduler code snippets for later use. If anyone has any favorite ways that work well, please let us know. I think TextPad has a code snippet saving & insertion feature... though I haven't used it yet.

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just for the record, I see this issue has been fixed.

I'm not sure when it was fixed but its no longer there in 9.0.037 BETA.

Thanks Support.
