Steps to reproduce:

/// template vector class
template
class Vector { };

/** \defgroup typedefs Typedefs */

/// vector with floats
/// \ingroup typedefs
typedef Vector FloatVector;

/// vector with doubles
/// \ingroup typedefs
typedef Vector DoubleVector;

/// some class
class MyClass
{
public:
/// some method
void foo (FloatVector&);
};

Actual results:

The FloatVector parameter of MyClass::foo() links to Vector (such that the user does not know how FloatVector relates to Vector).

Expected results:

The FloatVector parameter of MyClass::foo() should link to typedef of FloatVector.

Observed with the default config file of doxygen 1.5.9

If "#FloatVector" appears in running text (e.g. documentation of foo()), then it gets linked to the typedef of FloatVector as expected. However, as parameter of foo() it gets linked to Vector (as reported initially).

BTW why does "FloatVector" (without #) not get linked automatically?
