Fixed as of the upcoming Workbench 5.2.43, and here's the changelog entry:

 With the Slovenian keyboard layout chosen, pressing "Control" + "/" would
 not toggle commenting. 

Thank you for the report.

Here is the solution:
I have been trying to figure this out for quite sometime now. First off, comment/uncomment works with divide and not forward slash. Divide is the "forward slash" that exists in full size keyboard (i.e: you desktop keyboard has the extra number pad...) so use that forward slash. Use the same thing if you have a full size keyboard if you have one in your laptop.

Now, For those who does not have a full size keyboard on their laptop (like me). Instead hold Ctrl + Fn (function key) + 0. 
NOTE: You can trigger divide key if you use function + 0. If you have non-English keyboard then use button that has a divide key "Forward Slash".

I hope this helps.
