I've found the best workaround for this bug (that I haven't seen since I
updated to XCode 1.2... A month or two ago - did I wind up getting seeded
without realizing it?) is to select the block of text you want to comment
out and type b / which throws // at the begging of every line though one of
the XCode scripts. (unless that was introduced with 1.2 as well... I don't
remember anymore)
I'd also like to point out that I'm using the default fonts and formatting
myself as well, and found that bug quit annoying.
PS for the Unicode challenged, the string of nonsensical characters above
(b /) is Command - Forward Slash
