CTRL+R adding percent sign to middle of line

Hi,

I have encountered an issue with Matlab R2022b and R2023b (may occur on others as well). My issue with using Ctrl+R to comment some code. Occasionally, and this does not happen all the time, Ctrl+R will place the % sign in the middle of script line as opposed at the beginning. Here is an example (a is just a random matrix):

b = reshape( a, [], 1 );

then using ctrl+r gives

b % = reshape( a, [], 1 );

I think a couple details that may help recreate the issue are that in preferences I chose not to have tab insert spaces, the issue tends to occur on lines that are indented, and there is at least one tab between the output variable and the equal sign. The commenting issue may occur 1 out of every 10 lines.

Thanks

Hi @Ryan Fogle,

I wasn't able to replicate the issue on my end. If possible, could you record a video demonstrating this unusual behavior?
