About the comment at the sameline with the input command defination,
it's a bug, you found it.
The comment will be acted as a parameter of the command, an atoi()
call with the comment as parameter will fail and always got 0, so
always disable on_top.
So neither the input.conf need to be adapted to avoid comment follows
command in the same line, or let the parse code identity the comment
and ignore it. I will make a patch for this.
