Steps to Reproduce:

Typescript file:

test()

/**
 * This
 * 
 * is a test
 */
function test() {

}

Notice how popup shows 'isa test' when you hover test() in first line:

Hmm.. I can't reproduce. Anything special about your project?

@waderyan

I just started vscode - no project and created Typescript file

Not sure if related - but I'm using Typescript 2.2.0-dev.20161111

[waderyan]

Confirmed with 2.2.0-dev.20161111

I have the same issue when using typescript language service from node. Typescript version 2.1.1

The first space after a newline is always removed in the comment that is returned by signature.getDocumentationComment().

[Knagis]

Is there any update on this bug? In our case it prevents us from updating our build tools to the new version as we are using the language service extensively.

@Knagis I have this tracked on our bug tracker. I do not believe any work has started in this area, but your comments are noted to make this a higher priority.

I spent some more time on this, found the problem and fixed it. Pull request with the fix: #12858

[Knagis]

Working more with the new compiler I found additional related problem

/**
foo * bar
*/
var x = 1;

in this case the asterisk between foo * bar is omitted. I have modified the PR to include a fix for this as well.
