Comment 1 Milutin Kristofic 2014-01-15 17:31:26 UTC 
In current netbeans 8.0 dev build
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20140114-cbe4fbb16440)
Java: 1.7.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.45-b08
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_45-b18

It works well, the output is:
* a, b, c, d;
* a, b, c, d;

Probably it was fixed by bug #236172

You can try Netbeans 8.0 beta next week, if it is also resolved for you, or maybe there are something different in your scenario.
