Hi,
please delete this bug if it was already reported. 

Having a local variable in a method with a JavaDoc on it
(either single line or multi-line) will delete the JavaDoc
after calling Refactor > Convert local variable to field.

Example:

public void foo() {

    /** This is a local variable */
    String bar = "foo";

}

Regards,
Ben
