The problem seems to be that sqlite is not recognizing <newline> as a comment terminator (unless the comment is alone on a line). I think you should write a bug ticket; meanwhile, the work-around is to end your comment with a semicolon.
sqlite> select * from t1; -- comment ...> ...> ; a c ---------- ---------- 1 One 2 Two sqlite> select * from t1; -- comment ; a c ---------- ---------- 1 One 2 Two sqlite> -- comment sqlite> Regards
