It is good that WebMatrix allows code sections (tags, php or javascript functions, loops, ifs, etc.) to be collapsed or shown again by clicking the little - or + signs on the left side of the page view, but there is an EXTREMELY annoying problem. Almost
anytime i start typing new code above collapsed code, WebMatrix will sooner or later decide to unfold EVERYTHING below the spot I am typing at. This can be hideously counter productive, especially in large files. I need the things I collapse to STAY collapsed
until *I* restore them.
Is there a way to fix this? Does anyone know why this happens?
Another related issue of lesser importance, but which still causes annoyance, is that I cannot find a way to colapse/expand code sections en-mass. There SHOULD be a way to tell the page view to collapse or expand all sections at once (e.g. with a hotkey,
a menu option, or an an option in a rightclick menu from the page# area on the left), but I cannot for the life of me find a way to do this.
