Hide XML comments in Visual Studio 2015

Question

XML comments (before methods etc.) used to hide the summary when collapsed. Now they show it (even when collapsed).

Is there a way to prevent that?

i.e.

This is what's shown:

when the following is collapsed:

/// <summary>
/// How do I hide this text in this view?
/// </summary>
public int abc;

Define "more collapsed" than what we see right now, i.e. one line? — silkfire, Oct 08 '15 at 17:12
I'm using 2012 and when I collapse it show the first line which is typically `///
` — juharr, Oct 08 '15 at 17:14
@juharr That's what I want. In VS2015 it shows the whole summary. — ispiro, Oct 08 '15 at 17:15
It wasn't easy to tell that from what you have. Maybe include the uncollapsed version as well. — juharr, Oct 08 '15 at 17:17
I couldn't see any settings for that. Probably they didn't think anyone would object to that behaviour :-) — Volkan Paksoy, Oct 08 '15 at 17:24

I didn't like that change either, so I wrote an extension to revert to the VS 2013 behavior. I just wrote it last night, so I'd consider it a beta at this point, but I'll be actively using it and actively fixing any bugs that arise. Feel free to check it out:

In Visual Studio 2017, doing this:

/// <summary>
/// <para>Put your description here</para>
/// </summary>

Just shows ///<summary> in a rectangle.
