I have two @import- statements for webfonts at the top of my css-file, which I need to disable when working locally.
(It takes ages for WeBuilder to import this external information - the browsers have no problems with this)
"Format CSS-Code…" removes these 2 commented lines, even if "Remove comments" isn't enabled.
Later comments are handled correctly.

Re: Problem with Format CSS in WeBuilder 2016
Thanks for the info.
From the info you provided I can't tell if this is the correct problem, but if you use //..url.. (starting with double slash) and use Internet Explorer for preview (instead of Chrome), and you use files for preview instead of local webserver - Internet Explorer is dumb enough to try to resolve //url to a network drive that doesn't exist and this is what takes ages. So to fix it eliminate the circumstances - either use Chrome instead of IE for preview or get rid of // or use local webserver and configure mappings (menu Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> Preview -> Mappings) to map the file you're previewing to local webserver address.
Nonetheless, I'll file the CSS formatter bug for fixing, thank you for reporting.

Just tested Version 14.3.0.187 - this bug is still there 
Re: Problem with Format CSS in WeBuilder 2016
We are planning to change CSS formater completely (replace it with one of the open-source solutions) because the current one is very difficult to debug & fix. Unfortunately we can't do it during the minor updates because it's too big of a change, so the plan is to do it for the next major version.
