(Using NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540))

I often use comments to structure logically related parts of code. For instance:

public class Test {

	// f methods

	public void f1() {
	}

	public void f2() {
	}

	// g methods

	public void g1() {
	}

	public void g2() {
	}
}

Unfortunately, this gets formatted into:

public class Test {

	// f methods
	public void f1() {
	}

	public void f2() {
	}

	// g methods
	public void g1() {
	}

	public void g2() {
	}
}

Notice that the blank lines after the comments were removed. Consequently it now seems the "// f methods" comment is for the f1() method, which is of course not the intention.

This is how the all the java parts in NetBeans look at it, "// f methods" is a comment for method f1(). Moving, renaming, organizing members on this method will all include the comment as part of method f1().

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
