> As you can see it in my screencast, when I comment out some code and between those code are blank lines, made for readability, the insertion of comments, will comment the blank line too, which doesn't make sense, because there is nothing to comment out. And this is a big problem, because when I comment out code blocks separately without having blank lines between and I select all blocks which are commented and I want to uncomment them, this is not possible, because it will make more comments because of the blank lines, which are not commented out. Everything you can see in my screen capture. This is not a behaviour what I know in other editors/IDEs and what I not expect. You can try it in visual studio code or sublime, they will not comment out blank lines.
> WebStorm did the same as NetBeans, they will comment out blank lines BUT when I select all, commented code with blank lines which were commented and blocks without commented blank lines, it will remove the comment, which I expect and which is right in my perspective. NetBeans does it wrong.
