<pre>Description:
Seems in LibreOffice Basic editor starting from version 5.4.0.3 symbol #
considered as comment line.
However this symbol used in BASIC code as integer variable mark.
So previously worked construction like that
#iFile = Freefile()
suddenly stop to work in my BASIC code.
Is it possible to not use # as comment line symbol so my code will continue to
work?
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Basic editor (Tools - Macros - Organize Macros - LibreOffice
Basic)
2. Enter simple test program
name = "/tmp/file.txt"
#iFile = FreeFile()
Open name for Output Access Write As #iFile
Print #iFile, "TEST"
Close #iFile
3. Run program
Actual Results:
Error Window containing text
BASIC runtime error.
Invalid file name or file number
appear
Expected Results:
Test program should work
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
