Details:

We noticed that some comments left in the code for translators are missing.
The issue seems to be specific to strings declared on a new line:

// TRANSLATOR NOTE: Foobar
L.String(
        "foobar");


For the reference, the following works correctly:

// TRANSLATOR NOTE: Foobar
L.String("foobar");


Here's a minimal repro for it:
1. Download attached repro.sh and repro.cs into the same folder
2. Run repro.sh
3. Observe the generated repro.pot

Expected outcome:

#. TRANSLATOR NOTE: Foobar
#: repro.cs:3
#, csharp-format
msgid "{0} of {1}"
msgstr ""


Actual outcome:

#: repro.cs:3
#, csharp-format
msgid "{0} of {1}"
msgstr ""
