title: How do I stop Visual Studio from automatically adding the end-of-comment characters when I start a new comment in a CSS file
body: <p>In Visual Studio 2012, when I want to comment out one or more lines in a CSS file using the <code>/*</code> and <code>*/</code> characters, VS always automatically adds the closing comment characters <code>*/</code> right after I type the starting comment characters. So if I start with this block of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.appGrid {
      display: -ms-grid;
      -ms-grid-columns: 120px 1fr;
      -ms-grid-rows: 140px 80px 1fr;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I want to comment out the <code>-ms-grid-rows</code> line, I type <code>/*</code> at the beginning of that line. This is what I want to see:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.appGrid {
      display: -ms-grid;
      -ms-grid-columns: 120px 1fr;
  /*    -ms-grid-rows: 140px 80px 1fr;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead, VS adds the <code>*/</code> characters as soon as I finish typing the <code>/*</code> characters, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.appGrid {
      display: -ms-grid;
      -ms-grid-columns: 120px 1fr;
  /**/    -ms-grid-rows: 140px 80px 1fr;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then have to manually delete the automatically-added <code>*/</code> and re-add it where I actually want it...in this case at the end of the line I'm trying to comment out.</p>
  
  <p>How can I stop VS from automatically adding the <code>*/</code> characters? I couldn't find any option to disable this behavior in Tools>Options>TextEditor>CSS.</p>
  
  <p>For reference, I'm using VS2012 Premium.</p>
