But I'm not switching input languages. The language icon--first icon-- remains CH for Chinese. The third icon--because I have both new phonetic and Cangjie methods installed--can be changed but it remains the same in my situation. The fourth icon is the only one changing in my problem and I get the '(shift) instruction as a tool-tip by hovering over the icon with my mouse pointer. It seems the new phonetic Chinese can take input in either Chinese or English. My wife, who has only new phonetic installed also needs to switch to English for things like URLs and other Internet stuff that isn't in Chinese. Perhaps that's what makes this confusing. The Chinese language setting has to support English too.

I have looked at the name in both status situations and they are exactly the same.

"zh-TW" that's the problem.

The risk area should be obvious. If you apply this method to a large block of code that spans multiple pages on your monitor, there is the danger of embedding one of these inside another one. If you then go back to 'turn on' the outer block, the inner block will terminate the outer one prematurely.

Over all, I find it safer (for those who use Visual Studio) to use the Edit-Advanced menus to comment or uncomment a highlighted block of code.

Personally, I shy away from ever using /* */ for comments.

Perhaps I should add that I was writing a simple but heavily used data entry application and the user definitely wants the 'enter' key to take him/her to the next field. (At the last item in the tab sequence, the user arrives at a button and the arrival 'presses' the button, which submits the input record and prepares for the next record. It's all VERY special-purpose, but highly tuned to make data entry quick and easy.)
