[Doxygen-develop] Disabled conditional sections still generate output

[Phil E. <ph...@ja...>]

trouble.html tells me I can report a bug to the developers mailing list.  So
here we go...

We have a large number of comment blocks that look like this:

    /**
     *  @if maint
     *  @brief Some short description.
     *  @param  stuff goes here
     *  @return   stuff goes here
     *
     *  Longer description here.
     *  @endif
    */
    void the_function (the params) {......}

Note that there is no unconditional text at all.  And in 1.2.16, nothing at
all would be generated when "maint" was not enabled.  And that was excellent.

I've just tried 1.2.18, and the function now shows up in the output, with the
special tags being emitted directly as HTML, but with none of the extra text.
The block above, for example, would have a text section consisting of

    @brief@param@return

with "brief@param" linked as a mailto:.


What further information can I provide to help figure out what's going wrong?
