PhpStorm: Comment shortcut places slashes at beginning of line

Question

When I use the comment shortcut (Ctrl + /) the slashes are placed at the beginning of the line, like this:

protected function before()
{
//    echo "(before) ";  
}

However I'd expect this behaviour:

protected function before()
{
    //echo "(before) ";  
}

How do I configure PhpStorm to use the latter approach?

Answer 1

1. Settings/Preferences
2. Editor | Code Style | PHP
3. Other tab and uncheck Line comments at first column option

In modern versions it is now located at the Code Generation tab:
