This is probably a duplicate of a gofmt bug I couldn't find, but this is a fairly small reproduction so I thought it worth sending to you.

53a6eea170dc1329d2f96d31fb3cc083 -- Have a file with a list indented when it shouldn't be.
- Run gofmt - it removes the indent.
- Run gofmt again - it adds a blank comment line.
Interestingly, it appears differently on https://go.dev/play/p/zg1E32OiO9x - it does get to the final result in a single press of Format.
What did you see happen?
An unwanted blank comment line was added on the 2nd run of gofmt.
What did you expect to see?
No blank comment line added.
