Incorrect formatting of Javascript line comments [message #532730]

Hi,

In both Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6 M7, the Javascript formatter seems to mangle code indentation badly in certain cases.

If line comments are used in either conditional blocks or function bodies, the Javascript formatter produces:

f(x, function() {
    function g() {
        if (true) {
            // Comment
        return true;
    } else {
        // Comment
        return false;
    }
}
});

f(x, function() {
    function g() {

        forEach( [], function() {
            // Comment
                var x = 1;
            });
    }
});

The formatter, however, produces the correct output for block comments.

f(x, function() {
    function g() {
        if (true) {
            /* Comment */
            return true;
        } else {
            /* Comment */
            return false;
        }
    }
});

f(x, function() {
    function g() {
        forEach( [], function() {
            /* Comment */
            var x = 1;
        });
    }
});

Shall I file a bug for this?

Thanks in advance!
