Comments folding issue

Eiffel · ‎2025-06-19

Hello all,

i have reported it several times but ST has successfully ignored it. So i am posting it here.

In CubeIDE is folding not working if file is long (around 3k lines). This is a major problem because a lot of LL "drivers" (BTW, it is RAL-Register Abstraction Layer) are quite long. Most of the lines are comments, and if you are unable to fold them, the files are hard to use, harder to read and it makes confusion and anger.

If you are writing some module, which has to be longer, it will be also hard to use and read, and user could insert a duplicity which lead to bugs.

Please fix it finally.

Is this related to the "Scalability" mode ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Check your file size limits for indexing. It can affect folding as well.

Man... finally!!!! Many thanks! I have been suffering from this for a really long time. This option was checked. Now it finally folds. It was terrible pain.
