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 am now seeing line reference numbers next to each line of code, as well (though maybe this existed previous to Oct update, but I do not remember seeing it). Maybe the two are unrelated, but regardless, it seems that I am not able to use comment keyboard shortcuts. Ultimately, it does not prevent continuing, because manual insert of // still works, but less efficient.

 

Thanks.

      Alt + Shift + A used to work, as well. Neither are working, now. Any idea if these were removed or written over with new keyboard shortcuts?

    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.
