Description:
When you hide multiline comment and delete start comment lexeme '/*' you lost other lines of comment. They are become invisible. And you can see them only when you put start comment lexeme '/*' before position where it was deleted.

Sorry for my English.

How to repeat:
Let's try in SQL Editor of MySQL Workbench

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3   | WHERE '1'='1'
4   | OR '2'='2'
5   | OR '3'='3'

Execute. It's OK. Put comment like this

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3   | WHERE '1'='1'
4[-]| /*OR '2'='2'
5 L | */
6   | OR '3'='3'

Execute. It's OK. 

In left click to [-] an see [+] afte hide line 5

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3   | WHERE '1'='1'
4[+]| /*OR '2'='2'
6   | OR '3'='3'

Execute. It's OK. 

Remove "/*"

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3   | WHERE '1'='1'
4   | OR '2'='2'
6   | OR '3'='3'

Execute. Error syntax - about invisible end comment lexeme '*/'. 

It is not indicate end of comment. Try put enter before and after line 4

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3   | WHERE '1'='1'
4   | 
5   | OR '2'='2'
7   | 
8   | OR '3'='3'

End comment lexeme '*/' is invisible. 

Put start comment lexeme.

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3[-]| WHERE '1'='1'/*
4 | | 
5 | | OR '2'='2'
7   | 
8   | OR '3'='3'

End comment lexeme '*/' is invisible. 

Click [-]

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3[+]| WHERE '1'='1'/* 
7   | 
8   | OR '3'='3'

Click [+]

1   | SELECT '1'
2   | FROM dual
3[-]| WHERE '1'='1'/* 
4 | | 
5 | | OR '2'='2'
6 L |*/
7   | 
8   | OR '3'='3'

I lost more time to understand this situation of syntax error and invisible part of code.

Problem still occurs in 6.3.4.0 on Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1, 64-bit. It would be great to put this in the documentation until the problem is fixed, to save people from spending a long time trouble-shooting this.
