# Objective Closes #59229 When adding a newline, Zed has a bit of intelligence to do more work than just inserting a `\n`. For comment lines, it simply extends the comment: ```rust Before // This is a comment, ˇThis is another comment After // This is a comment, // ˇThis is another comment ``` And when the cursor is inside bracket pairs, Zed inserts another newline to move the closing bracket to a new line: ```rust Before fn main() {ˇ} After fn main() { ˇ } ``` However, when we have a comment line with the cursor inside a bracket pair, both mechanisms apply, resulting in an unintended state where the closing bracket is kicked out of the comment: ```rust Before // {ˇ} After // { // ˇ } ``` We definitely do not need the bracket extension rule when we are adding a newline inside comments. We want comment lines inside brackets to be split like this: ```rust // { // ˇ} ``` ## Solution - Disable Bracket Extra Newline in Comments: When a line comment delimiter is detected, we override the default `newline_config` to set `extra_line_additional_indent` to `None` . - Avoid Rule Conflicts (Short-circuiting): The three newline customization helpers (line comment, block comment, and list item) are mutually exclusive. I refactored their execution from a sequential list into an `if let Some ... else if let Some` branch. This prevents subsequent rules from having side effects on `newline_config` when a match has already occurred. ## Testing A new test named `test_newline_comments_with_brackets` is introduced in `crates/editor/src/editor_tests.rs`, All tests in the `editor` crate were verified using `cargo test -p editor` . ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - Fixed an issue where splitting brackets inside line comments inserted an extra line and broke the comment formatting
