Details

Comments in WPS files act very strangely if they're not on a line of their own. The following (and attached) wps demonstrates this:

----------Start----------
Artist: %ia
Title: %it
foo
bar
Artist: %ia# Comment
Title: %it# Comment
-----------End-----------

Expected output:
----------Start----------
Artist: Dire Straits
Title: Walk Of Life
foo
bar
Artist: Dire Straits
Title: Walk Of Life
-----------End-----------

Actual output:
----------Start----------
Artist: Dire Straits
Title: Walk Of Life
foo
barArtist: Dire StraitsTitle: Walk Of Life
-----------End-----------

It seems to me that comment-characters should only "eat" line-endings if they're at the beginning of a line?

This behaviour was introduced in r13140 (http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=13140), seemingly on purpose, but I don't think "inline" comments were considered - that's why I'm adding this as a bug.

As a note, at least one WPS in SVN uses this behaviour to break a long line, so if it's fixed, that WPS should be modified as well.

re-reading that forum thread confused me... did we actually come to a consensus at all? or should we close this because its not going to be fixed?
