Description Massimo80 2017-11-22 10:41:05 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201705191307)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_121
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 25.121-b13

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:

I have these two lines of code

   private int variable1;  /* Quick explanation 1 */
   private int variable2;  // Quick explanation 2

In 
Tools->Options->Editor->Formatting
Language: JAVA
Category: Comments
"Enable Comments Formatting" is not checked

Format the code with
    Source->Format (Alt+Maiusc+F)



ACTUAL:
Lines became

   private int variable1;
   /* Quick explanation 1 */
   private int variable2;  // Quick explanation 2

Comment lines /* */ and // are treated differently.
Revision program says there are tons of differences after reformat source. 

I tryed every combination in 
Tools->Options->Editor->Formatting
Language: JAVA
Category: Comments
but I can't find the right configuration 


EXPECTED:
Comment lines should be left unchanged

   private int variable1;  /* Quick explanation 1 */
   private int variable2;  // Quick explanation 2
