Build Identifier: Build id: M20100211-1343

If you add a space after the type specified after the @see JavaDoc tag then the line that displays the @see tag under the "See Also:" section of the JavaDoc view will disappear.  If you remove the trailing space it will re-appear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a JavaDoc comment like the following in a java source file
/**
 * Test
 * @see Object
 */
2. You should see the following in the JavaDoc view:
Test 
See Also:
Object

3. Now add a space after the word Object and you will see the line containing the link to Object disappear from the JavaDoc view so the JavaDoc view now looks like:
Test

The steps to reproduce above assume the JavaDoc comment is for a method, so you will need to add the method under the JavaDoc comment block.  I have not tested other combinations.
