I actually like this behavior but don't feel too strong about it. If you can gather some support for your pull I'll merge it. Otherwise I'll accept a pull if you make it so when you press a single backspace it removes the comments.

I might be misunderstanding how that was meant to be used, is there a reason that the new lines aren't recognized as the end of the comment?

Many instances, but it all boils down to: when writing multiline comments without having to use /**/

But those line's wouldn't be interpreted as comments by the interpreter, would they?
Also, how do you mark the end of a comment block then?

Thanks!

Just to clarify: @goatslacker I think you might be thinking is that in the snippet

function foo(x, y) {
  // This is a comment|<- the cursor
  return x + y;
}

when the cursor is at the end of the comment and you hit Enter, you could arguably want the result to be:

function foo(x, y) {
  // This is a comment
  // |<- the cursor
  return x + y;
}

I believe @Ftzeng is not arguing against that behavior. I believe the bug @Ftzeng is reporting is that the line return x + y; is being grayed out and highlighted like it's a comment, even though it's syntactically not a comment.

@Ftzeng: I am unable to reproduce this bug on the latest master branch of pangloss/vim-javascript? Also, your later additional commits appear to be unrelated (I also happen to disagree with them).

My vote is to close this issue.

That's exactly the issue I was having. I will try again with the latest commit.

Yeah the additional commits are unrelated, I was just messing around with some things.
