The term is "folding". and yes there is a problem with all folded blocks 
being unfolded, whenever you start a comment. Unfortunately this is not 
fixed yet.

However a few tricks that maybe can help.
Depending on OS, you may have to set the keyboard shortcuts in the 
options first)

shift-alt-1 => fold all nodes (pascal nodes, not IFDEF)
shift-alt -2 => fold all level 2 nodes (nested nodes)
....
shift alt 0 => unfold all

also you can write the closing "}" first, but it is very easy to forget....
