Does it behave any better/different if you move the trailing " }object1_t " to 
a new line?  It could be a parsing limitation.

I would agree that you'd want both cases to produce the exact same 
documentation.  I also noticed different results with and without the trailing 
period with JAVA_AUTOBRIEF set to YES, with respect to methods (I never tried 
to document data members).   However, I actually noticed the opposite behavior 
from what you describe.  With the period, you basically get what you'd expect: 
only the brief doc in the summary list of methods.  Without the period, you get 
in addition a "detailed" description of the method, but that detailed 
description contains the same information.

In my opinion, this is a Doxygen bug, but it is minor with an easy workaround 
(just add the period).   You can always file a bug in bugzilla against Doxygen 
to hopefully get it fixed.

Subject: [Doxygen-users] Period after sentence in brief description

I'm using Doxygen 1.8.3.1 with JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF = YES. Other settings are 
default.

typedef struct{
    int8_t member1; /**< Brief description of the member */
    int8_t member2; /**< Brief description of the member. */ }object1_t


Doxygen produces different (HTML) output, if there is a period after the single 
sentence in brief description.

In first case additional documentation for the menber1 is not generated.
In second case there is a period after the sentence. Doxygen generates a link 
"more..." and additional documentation for the member1. Although there is no 
detailed description.

Is this behavior intended?
