If a comment like in:

class a {
    /**
     * (<
     * @param test
     */
}

is automatically formatted then the autoformat (Ctrl+Shift+F) adds an additional line every time it is used.

The comment above is the smallest comment to reproduce the error with my computer.


I can reproduce the error if:

# The comment is inside a class.
# The comment starts with /**    (not /*)
# The comment contains at least one character (exept ' ' or '*') followed by '<'
# The comment contains a new line starting with @ like @param or @return.

This problem also occurs with:

class a {

    /**
     * Checks if a < b.
     *
     * @param a Number 1
     * @param b Number 2
     * @return true... yes, false... no
     */
    public boolean check(int a, int b) {
        return a < b;
    }
}
