Left justified comments for ESS

Question

When I use C-M-\ (with emacs and ESS) to format my R code, it right justifies my comments. For example, it changes:

#This is a comment
x=5

to

                       #This is a comment
x=5

How do I stop my comments being right-justified?

Answer 1

One solution is to use ##. By convention, that one doesn't move.
