Upgrade to ESS 17.11 which was released ca one week ago.

I've tried the above line, both with  C-c C-c  and  C-u C-c C-c
(one "with visibility", once without),
and did not see the problem.

    > If I select the line as a region, then C-c C-c works correctly, which is a workaround but not what I seek. I have searched the fine manual for "comment" but nothing useful came out. And I have searched for "ess-eval-region-or-function-or-paragraph-and-step comment char" but nothing useful came up.
