I've had it resort some declarations within ID's or classes, but never had it rearrange the order.

In addition to removing comments, it is rearranging my code breaking the cascade. :(

I hope they get it fixed soon. This isn't a good thing to have happening.

Anything after comments that contain "<=" in them is stripped out.

(If I did that correctly you should see a left-angle-bracket and equal sign between the quotes)

If it is stripping things other than commments, then you need to contact staff with an example of what is being stripped out.

It is almost, but not quite, as if any comments at the top of the file triggers this.

Makes it painful to upload new custom css!

Obvious where it came from :) ...

This looks like a bug to me.
