When I "go to definition" of InterfaceTypeAttribute I see the following:

namespace System.Runtime.InteropServices
{
    // Summary:
    //     Indicates whether a managed interface is dual, dispatch-only, or IUnknown
    //     -only when exposed to COM.

Note that there's a whitespace right after "IUnknown" so when I hover a mouse over code that contains usage of the attribute I see the following text being displayed: "Indicates whether a managed interface is dual, dispatch-only, or IUnknown -only when exposed to COM." - note a whitespace in front of "only". I'll attach a screenshot of Visual Studio editor showing how it looks like.

Clearly that whitespace is redundant and makes the hint look untidy. It should be eliminated

"Go to definition" of InterfaceTypeAttribute, observe the summary.
