Toggle line comment doesn't work for multiple lines in CSS

[vanowm]

Type: Bug

Toggle line comment in CSS creates a single comment block when multiple lines are selected. This creates an issue, aka corrupts the code, if the selected lines already contain comment(s).

Highlight 2 lines:

  /* flex-grow: 1; */
  /* justify-self: center; */

Press CTRL + /

The result is currupted CSS:

  flex-grow: 1; */
  /* justify-self: center; 

A possible fix is to process each line individually like it does in javascript.

The command implementation is simple: Just add or remove /* and */ around the selected lines. If the selected lines contain more /* or */, it wont work.

Why can't it work just like javascript where each line wrapped individually?

[vanowm]

As of now, when multiple lines are commented out as a block, devtools don't show them at all, while when each line wrapped individually, it shows each line as unchecked, which allows for manipulation.
