SOLVED: Auto Format Bug

@PaulRB
back to analysis,

  • Did you try to find out at which length the unintended line break happens?
  • Or does it break on a certain character?
  • any tests done with other IDE yet?

I can confirm the 0.22 version on win7/64 shows this bug too

  • What I see it inserts a '\n' on position 136 thereby not just breaking the comment, but also removing one char (e from next)
  • if I use a var with a long name it does not break at position 136 nor does it break long code lines @136 
void loop() {
  int thisvarislong_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = 0;
  int xxxxxxx = 0;
  int y = xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx + xxxxxxx +  1;
  //This comment is so long that if you perform Auto Format on it, the last part of the comment will be wrapped onto the start of the n
  xt line and cause a compile error
}

So it seems long comments are the only part affected
