Yes, we (Michael) is working on addressing this problem. Recently  
scopes were introduced for if/while blocks in PHP which gives some  
advantages, but it breaks leaving PHP mode inside such blocks, for  
which we are testing a solution, but that breaks the scope  
intersection computation calculations TM does for selections when the  
begin/end of selection touch different units, which is why comments  
fallback to the root (HTML) scope rather thna PHP.

It should be solved before next TM build goes out.

You can alter the comment preferences, see Bundles → Bundle Editor  
and find the Comments item in the PHP bundle.

For this, please give a step-by-step of what you do, what you expect,  
and quote the text literally, and be careful that you are not mixing  
spaces and tabs.
