Fixing imports deletes a comment line

[JoachimRohde]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 24 release candidate

What happened

In the following code the first comment line gets deleted when CTRL+SHIFT+I is pressed to fix imports:

package com.mycompany.fiximportdeletescommentdemo;

import java.util.List;

// https://github.com/toby1984/swing-autocomplete
// xxx
// https://github.com/toby1984/swing-autocomplete/blob/master/src/test/java/de/codesourcery/swing/autocomplete/Demo.java
public class FixImportDeletesCommentDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

I could reproduce this behaviour with NetBeans 22 and NetBeans 24-rc3. It only occurs if all imports are about to be removed and the code does not contain any unresolved imports. If those criterias are met the issue is always reproduceable.

A trivial Maven project to demonstrate this issue: FixImportDeletesCommentDemo.zip
