Emacs comments

[Guillaume Marcais]

Given the following piece of code:

# Nice comment
a = 1

'M-x comment-region' in emacs gives me:

# # Nice comment
# a = 1

That's OK. But then, M-x uncomment-region gives me:

Nice comment
a = 1

The comment is gone! I am using the mode-ruby.el from ruby-1.8.1
distribution. Has anybody out there fixed that so it woul preserve the
comments?
