Description Sam Washburn CLA 2010-12-18 00:00:33 EST 
Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

If I have the following at the top of a file:

import java.io.File; // This is a comment

then go to Source->Organize Imports, the comment disappears.

import java.io.File;

It also happens if the comment is on a nearby line and also if I press the menu shortcut key.

I can't find any workaround without just not organizing imports, but I'm so used to pressing ctrl-shift-o all the time, I'm constantly deleting important stuff at the top of my clients' files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add line: import java.io.File; // This is a comment
2. Choose menu option: Source->Organize Imports
3. Watch the comment disappear :)
