Description Howard Chu 2011-09-19 19:37:51 UTC 
There is an extraneous single-quote character in the manpage output before every period character. The bug is in both the released 1.7.5.1 and the latest SVN. It's caused by a typo here:

Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2011-09-29 19:28:49 UTC 
Confirmed. Should already be fixed in the latest subversion update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2011-12-03 18:22:50 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.6. 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.
