Sometimes when I use "//" comments the reading of the file just stop. The file format is *.SQF, and in other files the one line comments work fine, but sometimes they not.
This is not work:
//Thats a comment
That's work:
/*
//Thats a comment
*/
I got the same issue even if the file just contain 3 line, one comment and two "hint" message. Problem happening with Stable and Dev version too.

Later I will upload a test file about this problem.
MulleDK19: I executed it from action/scroll menu. Usualy for testing I use action menus in the init field of the soldier, in this style: this addAction ["action1", "action1.sqf"];
The file actually start to run, but as soon as it reach the first "//" comment line it's stop running/stuck. If i remove the line, or just put it into another comment (/* */) then the file exeuted well, without any problem.
Similar issue happened to me once, hopefully that can solve it: Make sure the proper CR and LF characters are there.
Problem solved, thanks Twix. The situation was the following:
As Twix said, the text files have two hidden/invisible symbol at end of every line. Those symbols are the "CR" and "LF". (Here is a list of all tose symvols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Control_1#C0_.28ASCII_and_derivatives.29 ) The file that coused the error onyl had "CR" (MAC format) at the line ends. So this mean the file was "one line long" for the applications while it has multiple lines.
When editing/scripting I usualy create *.txt file, and then change the type and name manually. Maybe I miss-clicked and created a word file, and this coused the problem. I also attached my file, so you can check it too.
How to solve the problem:
At all, problem solved, coused by user, not related to Arma 3 Alpha, and isse can be closed. I will upload these informations to a BIKI article, maybe it's will be helpfully for some person in the future.
