Test file explaining the problem

The brief description is misplaced in he man page output using version 1.7.4.

With the attached header the generated man pages are displayed as:

NAME
       test.h -

       Test file.


NAME
       Test -

       Test class.


NAME
       test_s -

       Test struct.


Using an older version (1.4.7) the generated man pages are correct:

NAME
       test.h - Test file.


NAME
       Test - Test class.


NAME
       test_s - Test struct.


Please restore the older correct output.

This bug is still present in Doxygen 1.8.6, except for the first file generated, which is correct. More detail on this Debian bug report:
