Block Comment uncomment does not work (for me).

From is.that....@googlemail.com on 2012-01-09T21:21:25Z

Spyder Version: 2.1.6
Python Version: 2.7.2
Qt Version: 4.7.3, PyQt4 (API v1) 4.8.5 on Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. block comment
   1. unblock comment (either per ctrl+5 or via menu) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? expected would be to remove the leading # and the lines
      above and beneath the codeblock that was blockcommented,
      while either marking every line inside a block,
      or the whole block
      (like when block commented through ctrl+4 or menu)

hope its not my fault ;)
thx for the otherwise very fine working program

Executing Spyder from source checkout Revision 1850 +:7bf24a9ca99d+, Branch: default

1. Patched sys.path with /home/spider/workspace_python/spyderlib

I have the same issue (and I hope this respond helps):

Spyder Version: 2.1.9
Python Version: 2.7.3
Qt Version: 4.8.1, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.9.1 on Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. on any file use block comment
2. try to remove block comment (either via ctrl+5 or the menu)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm expecting the block comment to disappear.
Instead nothing changes in the editor and I get an "AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'startsWith'" in the internal console window.

Please provide any additional information below

.
Here's the traceback from the internal console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/widgets/sourcecode/codeeditor.py", line 1903, in unblockcomment
if __is_comment_bar(cursor1):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/widgets/sourcecode/codeeditor.py", line 1900, in __is_comment_bar
return cursor.block().text().startsWith('#' + '='*79)
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'startsWith'

In case this is important: I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 and installed python and spyder from the standard ubuntu repository.
