Bug#593617: texmaker: Commented-out %\section{} still shows in structure tree

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Pascal,

I would like to foreward a bug report addressed to TeXMaker packaged for
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution but which is probably valid for TeXMaker
in general.  You can read the full bug history at

   http://bugs.debian.org/593617

and below is an easy example including screenshot which explains the
problem.  It would be nice if this could be fixed in one of the next
TeXMaker updates.

Kind regards and thanks for providing this nice Free Software

    Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

Sorry, I took a bit longer to get to this than I'd hoped. But I'm here  
now. I've installed 2.0 and the problem still exists. Here's a minimal 
demo:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}

\section{one}
% commenting out section two should hide it from the 'structure view'
%\section{two}
\section{three}

\end{document}

Attached screenshot shows the problem. I would expect a commented out  
section to disappear from the tree view on the left of the screen, but it 
doesn't.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I had a quick look at  
upstream, but couldn't see any bug reporting mechanism.

Cheers,

  Arthur
