Ctrl + / not working for commenting in DAX

I am no longer able to use Ctrl + / as a keyboard shortcut to comment out sections of code in DAX. Any ideas why this is happening? I have upgraded to the latest version (Oct 2018). After the upgrade...

I think this is a bug. I'm pretty sure, with the most recent version, Ctrl + / still works 5 minutes ago, because I'm testing two pieces of code to see which one is more efficient, so I have to Ctrl + / a lot. Somehow it stops working suddenly. Alt+SHIFT+A still works but unable to remove comments added with Ctrl + /

 

Update:

It comes back and I figured out what happened.

Basically when you select the rows to comment/uncommet, you cannot select the full top row. For the top row and top row only you have to select the part starting from //, you cannot select the full row. If you select the full row, the color sometimes changes from blue to grey, as if focus leaves the editor.
