Description
While debugging any Java code, with "Debug: Inline Values" set to "Auto" or even to "On", the inline cues with the values of variables won't appear in any methods which have a comment above their definition.
The problem can be reproduced by debugging the attached program with a breakpoint for example in line 15.
Two pictures illustrating the problem are also supplied.

Compare methods with and without a comment above their definition; done means inline variable values appear in the commented methods as well.
