Oh thank you Paul! I am not crazy (well, not about that anyway!). What model computer are you using?
Yes, please add this to the comments in the bug report. I do think it will help.

Well that shortcut doesn’t work, but it does show as the shortcut for ‘Uncomment’ in the ‘Edit’ menu of LC, but oddly, ‘shift cmd -‘ does sort of work with LC 6 & 7 (not 5).
