FS#9640 - WPS comments "eat" line-endings

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.

it seems that this behaviour is wanted. feel free to reopen and bring it up on the ml or irc if you want.

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?
