Rich Comments - Adding a backtick (`) character does not hide leading comment delimiters

As described in Mark's blog post…

adding a backtick (`) character immediately after the leading comment delimiter does not work for me, neither in F# nor C# files.

    Kevin,

    To hide the leading comment delimiter, turn on the "Hide comments delimiters if the first character in the comment is a back-tick" option.

    Follow these steps to get to the Rich Comments options page:

    1. From the Visual Studio menu, select "CodeRush\Options…" .
    2. In the tree view on the left, navigate to this folder:
                  Editor\All Languages
    3. Select the "Rich Comments" options page.
    4. Check the "Hide comments delimiters if the first character in the comment is a back-tick" checkbox.

          Alex, tried. Yes it works. This is the second time I've reported a bug and had a hotfix within a few hours. The first time was about 10 years ago. Good work. :)
