Description Daniel Blaukopf 2004-01-18 11:40:51 UTC 
If I have a comment that only takes up one line,
there is no benefit to having an option to fold
it. If I then collapse all folds, the one-line
comment disappears, whereas it could as well have
remained without damaging the readability of the code.

I suggest removing the code folding icon for
one-line code elements.
Comment 1 psuk 2004-03-23 18:30:00 UTC 
Changing subcomponent to "code folding"
Comment 2 jeremyclarke 2009-07-31 18:03:57 UTC 
+1 this is a very good idea. 

IMHO folded comments should always show the first line of the comment anyway because it doesn't take up any more space
and would be very helpful. It would also solve this problem almost inherently. That is being discussed in this ticket:

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
