Left = new, bad. Right = old, good:

In older Dolphin versions (5.0 - 3819 for example) if you do "Add Function" it will only replace the selected instruction with a new symbol name, allowing you to note what single instructions are doing. The symbol block before and after this single line renaming will be the same block. This is extremely useful.

In newer versions "Add Function" splits the symbol block into two blocks. This doesn't allow you to do a single comment, surrounded by a symbol block. At best you can do:
Symbol block 1 [Bloom Calculations]  (Yellow)
Single comment [Bloom Offset Float] (Blue)
Symbol block 2 [Bloom Calculations] (Blue)

This isn't good, because even if block 1 and 2 have the same name, they will show up separately in the symbol search (2x Bloom Calculations)- and be colored differently. sidenote - I don't want same-name symbol blocks to be combined, I'm simply pointing out there's no way to achieve the desired behavior.

Newer versions of Dolphin also fail to correctly load my single-line symbol comments that were saved from older versions, causing new blocks to be created where single-lines surrounded by a continuous symbol block should be.

My request is either to restore "Add Function's" old behavior or add a new option that does what it used to do. Also to fix loading symbol files from old versions.

Thanks!

/edit2 This might actually just be a bug. It starts in 5.0 5475

Unless someone needs the current behavior to be preserved, I'll submit a bug report for this.
