SciTE 3.7.3 bug: #Region & #EndRegion not working properly when it contains "Case" statements

[gil900]

$var = 1
Switch 1

	#Region @#%@

		Case 1


		Case 2

	#EndRegion

	#Region &@$%
		Case 3

		Case 5
	#EndRegion

EndSwitch

The option to collapse/uncollapse the whole region is not working properly. it collapsing until the first "case" statement and not until the #EndRegion

This is a wrong use of AutoIt "syntax", and philosophies.
Your region ranges are poorly defined.
You can not, write anything between Switch and first Case, this just do not make any sense.
I do not see any logic in this way of use Switch...Case...EndSwitch++#Region/#EndRegion

Here are examples of proper way showing how to use #Region in this case:

$var = 1
#Region @%@ outer
Switch 1
	Case 1
		; .....
		#Region @%@ inner 1
		; .....
		#EndRegion @%@ inner 1
		; .....
	Case 2
		; .....
		#Region @%@ inner 2
		; .....
		#EndRegion @%@ inner 2
		; .....
	Case 3
		; .....
		#Region &@$% inner 3
		; .....
		#EndRegion &@$% inner 3
		; .....
	Case 5
		; .....
		#Region &@$% inner 4
		; .....
		#EndRegion &@$% inner 4
		; .....
EndSwitch
#EndRegion @%@ outer

btw.
Personally I prefer this kind of code descriptions:

$var = 1
#Region @%@ outer
Switch 1 ; main description for entire switch region
	Case 1 ; some description for case 1 region
		; .....
	Case 2 ; some description for case 2 region
		; .....
	Case 3 ; some description for case 3 region
		; .....
	Case 5 ; some description for case 5 region
		; .....
EndSwitch
#EndRegion @%@ outer

I would say there is basically nothing wrong with using it like that, but you need to remember that SciTE only does basic lexing and not syntax interpretation. In this case the Case statement will Close the previous Fold Header ( being a #region) en start a new Fold level, since that is what is needed for a Case line.
So it is not a bug but agree it looks strange.

Try this:

Switch 1
	ConsoleWrite("! 1" & @CRLF)
	Case 1
EndSwitch

You will get:

I know this is rather this case:

Switch 1
	#Region 1
	Case 1
		#EndRegion 1
EndSwitch

But this is very strange to write anything else than Case in first line just after Switch

I want also to say this:

Switch 1
	Case 1
		#Region This is inside Case 1 Folding group
		If 1 Then
		EndIf
	Case 2
		#EndRegion 	This is outsde Case 1 Folding group
EndSwitch

In this case, #Region and #EndRegion are on different Folding level and this could not be taken any way, this is just irrational.

Lines starting with an # are ingnored by AutoIt3, so let's not make this more complex as it is.
My reply merely stated why things are happening as experienced and didn't want to have/start a debate on code formatting in TRAC. :)
