Adding Coments to Content Templates causes tags?

Hi,

I always add commenting in views, it always works. But in the past I've tried to add comments in Content Templates and it's added code. I've never bothered following up on this but since it's come up again today and the problem still persists with all upgrades, I thought I'd ask about it.

THE PROBLEM:
1 – Set up a Content Template
2 – Anywhere in the code, try adding a comment, ie:

<!-- This is a comment -->

3 – On the site, you'll see p tags added (at the place where the comment is):

<p></p>

Any solutions to this? I've tried other forms of commenting with similar problems.
