Did you update & install *both* monodoc/engine AND
mono-tools/docbrowser?

One of my recent fixes in monodoc/engine "fixes" "invalid" links that
were present in the imported ECMA documentation, invalid links of the
form "T: Namespace.Type" (note the space after the ':').

Clicking on these links would previously go to a nearly blank page
containing the only text of the link you just clicked.

An example of this is M:System.Array.AsReadOnly<T>, which in the summary
links to "T: System.Collections.Generic.IList&lt;T&gt;" (note the
space).

Is it possible that the links you're clicking which lead nowhere are of
this malformed type?

Thanks,
 - Jon
