Reformat code, @author-tag and commas

In build 977 the @author-tag started acting weird. When running "Reformat Code" having an author-tag like this:
@author <my name>, <my company>
the reformatted code looks like this:
@author <my name>
@author <my company>

Is there any way to configure this?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the "@author name1, name2" syntax was
deprecated and it was recommended that separate @author tags be used.
IDEA is probably trying to be smart and correct what it thinks is
deprecated syntax. Perhaps if you formatted it as "@author ()" or "@author - "? Ciao, Gordon -- Gordon Tyler (Software Developer) Quest Software ]]>

I haven't heard this would be deprecated. Javadoc doesn't give any note about this. The Javadoc documentation(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html) says: "You can specify one name per @author tag or multiple names per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc tool inserts a comma (,) and space between names."

This doesn't have anything to do with my problem, or have I misunderstood something?

cheers,
Sakke

If you read a bit further... "In the latter case, the entire text is
simply copied to the generated document without being parsed. Therefore,
you can use multiple names per line if you want a localized name
separator other than comma."

In other words, if there is one @author tag it's contents are copied
verbatim without being parsed and so IDEA shouldn't be trying to
separate it into what it thinks are multiple authors.

So, yes, I think this is a bug.

Well, there's already SCR for this planned for Aurora.
Don't worry this will be fixed.
