Re: Comments always aligned at column 67 despite comment-column set otherwise

[eric_powell]

Thanks for the reply, Jeff.  

What you suggested is very similar to what I was doing.  (I guess I was
actually using the set-comment-column command to set the comment-column
variable).  

Nevertheless, the result was the same.  I set the comment-column to 77,
pressed M-;, and a comment appeared at column 67!?!? (BTW, I pressed M-; on
a line with text on it already [e.g. int i = 0; ]).

At this point, I am trying to understand what could be overriding the
comment-column.  I read about a user option called c-indent-comment-alist. 
I can't seem to access it anymore, but I used to be able to, and I think it
could be somehow culpable.  Also, I understand that the particular c-style
I'm using could be involved.  Either way, I can't seem to decipher what
these other options may or may not be doing.

Does anyone know which options/settings could be over-riding what I have
most certainly set as the comment-column?
