A brief description containing a string in parens such as "(this, and this, etc.)" will be terminated by the period before the right paren. Anything after the period will be moved to the detailed description.

I believe the line 1036 in commentscan.l in 1.7.1:
("."+)[a-z_A-Z0-9] { // . at start or in the middle of a word, or ellipsis

should include a right paren in the regex:

("."+)[a-z_A-Z0-9)]

Oddly enough we're finding brief descriptions with this problem to be pretty common.
