Strange behavior for Spyder code annotations

[apdcode]

Problem Description

Using comments such as #TIPS and #HINTS will render a blue checkmark in the Spyder IDE. If you go to Tools|Editor|Code Introspection/Analysis and activate Code Annotations (TODO, FIXME, XXX, HINT, TIP...), those keywords do not seem to trigger any effect in the SPyder IDE at all.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Go to Tools|Editor|Code Introspection/Analysis
2. Activate Code Annotations (TODO, FIXME, XXX, HINT, TIP...)
3. No blue checkmarks activated.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Covered in the Problem Description.

Thanks for reporting. We'll take a loot at this for 3.2.8

Can you give more of an example of what you are entering in order to get the blue checkmark? For example, I noticed that

# XXX

does not give a checkmark, but

# XXX - come back later

does. I think the code checks that the comment has more text on the line than just the TODO, FIXME, etc.

Hi! I'd be happy to give more examples! But regarding today's notification Closed #6520, are you still interested? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to look at something that must only be a minor detail in an otherwise great IDE!

@apdcode It was closed because I submitted a patch for it. The only time I was not getting the checkmarks was when the line had a # TODO or other todo-type word that wasn't followed by any other text. So, I made a change to look for missing text and default it to the TODO word.
