Steps to reproduce:
1. http://play.golang.org/p/GzwSKNPZch
2. Click format
2. Click format

Inside a var() block:
var (
  short = X{
  }
  someLongVarName = 1
)

when formatted it becomes
var (
    short = X{}
    someLongVarName = 1
)

which, upon second formatting, becomes
var (
    short           = X{}
    someLongVarName = 1
)

Unfortunate, but I think it's too late to be tweaking gofmt.

Labels changed: added go1.2, removed go1.1.

Comment 5:

While not idempotent it converges to a fixed point in just
two iterations.  Is this something to bother about?

Comment 6:

if we don't fix this issue, how many times should you run gofmt on your source code?
i believe you have to run at least 2 times (and in this case, 3) to be sure.
please consider this (imo, common) scenario:
developer has a gofmt hook at save time.
the SCM has a pre-commit hook that checks gofmt won't change the source.
the developer writes http://play.golang.org/p/GzwSKNPZch, then save, gofmt
runs, format it to the first revision.
however, when he tries to commit the file, gofmt will transform the file to the
2nd revision (the fixed point), and SCM will reject this commit.
