Description Kian Win Ong

Build Identifier: 20090621-0832, 

The Javascript formatter mangles code indentation badly, when line comments are used in either conditional blocks or function bodies.

Replacing the line comments with block comments will, however, produce the correct indentation.

Please see attached files for comparison between using line comments and block comments.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. line-comments-wrong.js show incorrectly formatted Javascript, whereas block-comments-correct.js shows that replacing line comments with block comments produces correct formatting.
