[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #57121 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => In Progress            
             Assigned to:                    None => jwe                    
                 Summary: [GUI] debug pointer position off by one line =>
lexer counts lines incorrectly for block comments that immediately follow line
comments

Follow-up Comment #6:

Thanks for the report.  I think the problem is with the block comment
immediately following a line comment.  The line that starts the block comment
is being counted twice, once as a line comment and again as the start of a
block.

I'm attaching a simple one-line fix for now but I have an idea for a better
solution that will simplify this part of the lexer.  I'll try to look at it
tomorrow.
