Coldfusion 10 - the end-comment string of "--->" is showing on my page.
I was making changes to a page. I noticed a line like;
---> ---> ---> --->
on my page. I looked and looked and the only instance of ---> is at the end of comments. I added a few more <!--- ---> to the code but only the original 4 still show.
A sample output of the page is;

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

According to the W3C http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/intro/sgmltut.html#idx-HTML , comments should on have two '--' and not 3 '---' of them like you're showing above. I don't know for sure that browsers won't show it correctly but that is not the standard syntax.
I appreciate your effort. But 2 dashes is for HTML commenting. Three dashes is for CFML. Unless, of course, I missed an announcement.
Not necessarily... but if that's the case, then CF should be stripping those sections out before it sends the page to the browser.
Is it possible that the wrapper page for your "dspStatusScreen.cfm" might have an issue in a comment end tag?
Sometimes CF will cache the template even though you save and publish the changes. If you don't have access to the CF Admin to purge the template cache, try making a backup copy of your template page first.
Rename the template that you're getting the error on.
Run the app so that you get the missing template error.
Change template back to the original name.
Does the comment error still exist?

Here's what fixed it. I had a comment block like;
<!---this is a test
and this is still part of the test--->
There is no white space between the start or end tag and text. When I added a space like so;
<!--- this is a test

Everything is fine.
