Description

Let's assume Java formatting is defined so that javadoc is formatted.

To do so, navigate to Options | Formatting, and in Language: Java, Category: Comments, verify that "Enable Comments Formatting" is checked.

/**
 * Some text here.
 * <p>
 * <pre>
 *      Some indented text
 * </pre>
 */

gets formatted as:

/**
 * Some text here.
 * <p>
 * <
 * pre>
 *      Some indented text
 * </pre>
 */

I noticed that the "<pre>" tag, when immediately located after a line with "<p>" tag, gets corrupted, and is thus no longer a legal tag.

I tried many combinations, this bug occurred only after a "<p>" tag, nothing else.
