# 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` .
