        <pre>Consider:

class A {
  //    void                        ParsePopupMenuObj(APP_MENUITEM *
  //ppMenuItem,JSObject * pObj);
  //    void                        DeleteMenuItems(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY *
  //pMenuItems);
  //     void                        AddMenuItem(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY *
pMenuItems, HMENU
  // hMenu, MENUITEMINFO MenuItemInfo);
};

If I format this repeatedly, I get (in sequence):

class A {
  //    void                        ParsePopupMenuObj(APP_MENUITEM
  //*
  // ppMenuItem,JSObject * pObj);
  //    void                        DeleteMenuItems(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY
  //*
  // pMenuItems);
  //     void                        AddMenuItem(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY *
pMenuItems,
  // HMENU
  // hMenu, MENUITEMINFO MenuItemInfo);
};


class A {
  //    void
  //ParsePopupMenuObj(APP_MENUITEM
  //*
  // ppMenuItem,JSObject * pObj);
  //    void
  //DeleteMenuItems(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY
  //*
  // pMenuItems);
  //     void                        AddMenuItem(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY *
  // pMenuItems,
  // HMENU
  // hMenu, MENUITEMINFO MenuItemInfo);
};


class A {
  //    void
  // ParsePopupMenuObj(APP_MENUITEM

  // ppMenuItem,JSObject * pObj);
  //    void
  // DeleteMenuItems(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY
  //*
  // pMenuItems);
  //     void                        AddMenuItem(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY
  // *
  // pMenuItems,
  // HMENU
  // hMenu, MENUITEMINFO MenuItemInfo);
};

class A {
  //    void
  // ParsePopupMenuObj(APP_MENUITEM
  //*
  // ppMenuItem,JSObject * pObj);
  //    void
  // DeleteMenuItems(APP_MENUITEM_ARRAY

This is a bit annoying: We have a presubmit that checks that new code is
clang-formatted by formatting the new lines and comparing it to the existing
code. If it's not equal, the tool suggests to run `git cl format`. Due to this
bug, the tool suggests doing that several times, until things finally settle
down.</pre>
