package df;
import a.a.*;
import df.*;
class B {
public A theA;
int f(int u){
for (;;){
	/*[*/if (5 > 6)
		return 4;/*]*/
else 			if (5 > 6)
		return 4;
		break;
	}
	}
}

select and extract (from /*[*/ to /*]*/). 
you get: 'beginning of selection contains characters that do not belong to the selected statement(s)'
you get this (incorrect) message even if you do not select the comments;

In build 20020124 you get the error message: Selection only covers part of a 
statement or expression. Extend selection using the "Expand Selection With" 
actions from the Edit menu".

Fixed in build > 20020124
