Hi Florian, to quote from the docs:
"For the *brief* description there are also several possibilities: 1. One could use the \brief <http://www.stack.nl/%7Edimitri/doxygen/manual/commands.html#cmdbrief> command [...] 2. If JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF <http://www.stack.nl/%7Edimitri/doxygen/manual/config.html#cfg_javadoc_autobrief> is set to |YES| in the configuration file, then [...] 3. A third option is to use a special *C++ style comment* which does not span more than *one line*. Here are two examples: /// Brief description. /** Detailed description. */ or //! Brief description. //! Detailed description //! starts here. Note the blank line in the last example, which is required to separate the brief description from the block containing the detailed description. The JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF <http://www.stack.nl/%7Edimitri/doxygen/manual/config.html#cfg_javadoc_autobrief> should also be set to |NO| for this case." (emphasis added). In other words, you're doing it perfectly right, and the behaviour is officially supported.
