The error message comes up if one of the selected lines would exceed the
record length after commenting. The block commenting shifts your line
over to the right by one character (two in free), so the idea of the error
is to preemptively prevent truncation.

I tried the block commenting, but keep getting the following error:
Text limit would have been exceeded. The operation has been canceled.

I've mapped my keys.
Alt+R to start the rectangle selection.
Hilight selection
Ctrl+B to fill Selection box.
Type in // for comment.

I'm already using the block commenting. It's so quick and easy to use.
Highlight, source > comment. Boom, done. Guess that'd be 3 steps vs 7?

I've long had a way to comment a block - use the block selection features.
1. Put cursor in comment position of first line 2. Press Alt-R 3. Cursor
down to end of block 4. Press Alt-R again 5. Right-click 6. Type L-E-* 7.
Press Enter
Ba-da-bing!
Alt-R is for selecting a Rectangle. Steps 5-7 are for putting a fill
string
into whatever the selected bit is.
For free-form, insert a cursor-right after step 3 and use // instead of
the
asterisk in step 6
I use this all the time to put version markers in columns 1-5 of RPG,
also.
I do like the idea of some auto-comment as has been described. I just
probably will keep using this method, but who knows?

To comment three lines I press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Shift+Left,
where I would expect to press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Ctrl+/ based on the
other "selected" functions available.column
Another minor issue is that it *inserts* an asterisk at column 7 on all
selected lines (in non-FREE RPG) but I would prefer it to overwrite
7 with an asterisk instead of moving all op-codes one character to the
right which makes things look untidy in column-specific RPG code. Has
anyone seen a preferences page somewhere for it? I can't find one.
With FREE code, it inserts // at column 8 which is fair enough, but it
still comments all the selected lines *and* the line that the cursor is
on.

This is by far my favorite refresh/fix-pack.
A couple content-assist issues have been fixed that I reported (SE47725
and SE47784), as well as seeing an RFE I entered come to life (seeing
decimal positions on numeric fields in content-assist). Very cool. And
also - block commenting! That is so sweet.--

Any major improvements between 8.0 and 8.0.3.
Looks like a lot of bug fixes, most of which I've never run into :-)
