Description Hank Oxford 2010-08-26 19:57:40 UTC 
A brief description containing a string in parens such as "(this, and this, etc.)" will be terminated by the period before the right paren.  Anything after the period will be moved to the detailed description.

I believe the line 1036 in commentscan.l in 1.7.1:
<Comment>("."+)[a-z_A-Z0-9]		{ // . at start or in the middle of a word, or ellipsis

should include a right paren in the regex:

<Comment>("."+)[a-z_A-Z0-9\)]


Oddly enough we're finding brief descriptions with this problem to be pretty common.

Confirmed. I'll include your change in the next subversion update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2010-10-09 08:19:13 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.2. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.
