Copy paste this in a file project (the formatting is correct):

package snippet;

public class Snippet {

	void meth() {
		try {} finally {
			if (true) try {} catch (Exception e) {
				try {} catch (Exception e2) {
					// If you omit this comment all fine
			}
			} finally {
				System.out.println("This finally block is indented wrongly");
			}
		}
	}
}


Hit Ctrl+Shift+F and get:

package snippet;

public class Snippet {

	void meth() {
		try {} finally {
			if (true) try {} catch (Exception e) {
				try {} catch (Exception e2) {
					// If you omit this comment all fine
			}
		} finally {
			System.out.println("This finally block is indented wrongly");
		} // notice this
		}
	}
}


That can be _very_ confusing in situations with nested try/finally (of course this a contrived example)
If you omit the comment all is fine.

I have previously filled some bugs with the comments handling - _there is definitely something fishy there_ - please have a look:
