Description
- VSCode Version: 1.30.2
- OS Version: Linux x64 4.20.0-arch1-1-ARCH
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use
//regionand//endregionin JavaScript and/or TypeScript files to create folding regions.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
The release notes for 1.17 mention that support was added for folding regions. For JavaScript/TypeScript, both //#region //#endregion and //region //endregion were added. However only //#region //#endregion seem to work. //region //endregion do not work.
This is annoying because some projects I work on use this syntax throughout all the code.
Code snippet
//region region
//endregion
// region region with space
// endregion
//#region #region
//#endregion
// #region #region with space
// #endregion

Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the JavaScript and TypeScript snippets in VS Code with extensions disabled, then trace the folding-region handling for the supported comment forms. Done means both //region and //endregion forms fold as described, alongside the existing //#region behavior.
