Nested Block Comment problem [message #984768]

Quick question. I just started trying to edit some existing C++ code with Eclipse/CDT, and there are problems all over the place due to nested comment blocks. I've also noticed that if I highlight a few lines of code that already contain a comment and select 'add block comment' from the toolbar, a block comment is put around the selected lines but the internal comment loses it's /* */. And when I reselect the lines and select 'remove block comment' from the toolbar, the block comment is deleted but the internal comment is now part of the code (ie the /* */ doesn't magically reappear).

Is there a way to do nested block comments in Eclipse/CDT? Am I doing this incorrectly? If I want to temporarily comment out a section of the code that already contains comments, how do I do it?

Thanks so much for everyone's help.

Michael
