[Doxygen-users] Inclusion of final period in \brief descriptions.

[MK <mk...@co...>]

I have a C library and am generating documentation with the following
settings using doxygen 1.8.6:

REPEAT_BRIEF           = YES
JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF      = NO   
QT_AUTOBRIEF           = NO     
MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF = YES 

The last is intended to include /// style comments although it seems to
make no difference in this respect (they are included as briefs anyway).

Consider:

/brief This is sentence one.  This is sentence two.
/details blah blah....

When the /brief comments are included at the top of the page for the
respective type, or as part of the "Detailed Description" (since
REPEAT_BRIEF is set), the complete "\brief" comment appears.  But in
the "Data Structures" list they appear with the last period removed:

This is sentence one.  This is sentence two

If I add an extra period to compensate, then this extra period appears
in places where the complete brief does appear:

This is sentence one.  This is sentence two.. blah blah

This seems like a bug to me, but I thought I'd ask here first in case
there is a quick work around.

Sincerely, MK
