Can't comment code in phpStorm using cmd+/ if selected code is right after php opening tag

I am having an annoying problem and I don't know if this is the default behavior or if I did something wrong (maybe accidentally changed some configuration values?).

When I am trying to comment code using keys cmd+/ and cursor is (or selection begins) on the code line right after opening php tag, nothing happens (see screenshot below)

selecting and commenting code this way does not work

but if I move cursor (or start of selection) by one line, commenting code with cmd+/ works fine (see screenshot below).

selecting code this way does work

Am I missing something, could anyone confirm this behavior or maybe someone knows a solution to this annoying problem?

I am using phpStorm 7.1 (Build #PS-133.982) on Mac OS 10.9.2

By the way Cmd+Alt+/ works fine on both cases, but it creates block comment, not line comment.

Solution

  • Well, I can confirm this behaviour on 7.1.3 on Windows 7 x64 SP1.

    But it works just fine in v8 EAP build 136.1255

    You can try EAP build yourself (you can run it alongside with v7 -- just not the same project in both IDEs at the same time) -- http://eap.jetbrains.com/phpstorm
