I noticed the new auto indenting of comments is "built-in" but not producing the look I prefer.
For long lines, I have comments now that extend way too far to the right.
I really liked the old way.
Please add the option to disable this feature.

Thanks.

Re: IDE Preferences - [±] Disable auto comment indentation.
Any chance to add this to preferences via keywords?
I cannot control the placement of my comments and still use auto-indentation.
This is really frustrating.

Ok, my annual plea to make indenting comments optional
I really appreciate auto indentation with keywords, but not spread out comments?
This is a small example, but comments get crazy if I dare to put a trailing comment on a long procedure or macro.
Example of compact view before autoindent.

Re: IDE Preferences - [±] Disable auto comment indentation.
I agree that indenting comments should be optional, because they are not keywords or commands, and they need to STAY the way we specifically write them... after all, that's what a comment's job is!
If I want a line of comments (such as a table) to say at column 1 of the IDE, then it should stay there, and not get moved or indented.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

+1 I agree. Sometimes it's really irritating. But sometimes you need it....
