Greetings,
I used to have Intel FORTRAN Compiler 9.1 with MS VS2005 integration back then. A couple of years ago, we upgraded everything to Intel Fortran Composer 2013 & MS Visual Studio 2012 (or 2010).
I noticed since a few editor behavior changes that really bug me and I'm wondering if there are settings anywhere to change those behaviors, to be more like the previous MS VS integration. In some cases, the new behavior is also NOT consistent with the behavior when editing "C" files.
The most annoying one is when selecting text and using the "Comment out the selected lines (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C)" command.
If I recall properly, the column location for the first "!" used to be based on how you selected the text. So, if I selected text from column 1, the "!" would be in column 1.
Now, when I select and comment text, the column location of the "!" is based on the position of the left-most character of the selected text, which is really annoying! We still work in FORTRAN Fixed Format here, so my commented lines often end up in the 7th column, instead of column 1, as I'd like them to be. What's worse, if I have a continuation character in column 6 prior to commenting the lines, then the "!" ends up in column 6 and the file fails to compile!!
I can't imagine this is by design and this is not how the editor behaves for "C" files.
I have other annoyances on how the editor "feels" compared to the previous version. Sadly, however, I haven't written those ones down and can't think of them right now. Oh well... so much on relaying on my memory...
Can the above behavior be changed (or fixed, cause I don't think it should behave like this)?
Thanks.
