If you are writing some piece text that references a C++ 11 enum class, doxygen will not create a link on that reference (but it will if you use the old-style enum. For example:

class Glyph {
public:
enum class Default {
Circle, //!< An unfilled circle.
CircleWithDot, //!< An unfilled circle with a dot in the center.
CircleWithPlus, //!< An unfilled circle with a plus sign in the center.

If I type

Glyph::Default::Circle

no link is created. But if I type the old style

Glpyh::Circle

the link is created. I think it should create a link on the new style enum class. See sample project attachment.

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
