Hello,

When reindenting the code below, ada-mode indents the line marked
[WRONG], aligning its comment delimiter is aligned under that of the
preceding line.  It is my understanding that possibly "this is a
feature, not a bug" and that inserting a blank line after the
"warning" line corrects the probkel but we'd like to have an option
to disable this behavior; we have a very large code base and mass-
reindentation can break some carefully-formatted comments without
the developer noticing.

As an additional bad side-effect, comments like [WRONG] below can
easily exceed the line length limit in our coding standard.

Thanks for considering.

procedure Foo is
begin
  Call_This_Other_Procedure (Bar, Baz); -- warning: finalizes Baz
                                        -- [WRONG] The reason why we 
need to call this procedure as the first step is because...
  Now_Do_The_Real_Processing;
end Foo;

--
