I think you need to give us the source to look at to see what's going on.

The same phenomenon can be observed for my Iso package which is available
from CRAN. The diff results for Iso are like so:
diff INDEX Lib/Iso/INDEX
3,5c3,5
< order isotonic regression of a set of data.
< ufit Calculate an -- or the optimal -- unimodal
< isotonic regression of a set of data.
---
order isotonic
ufit Calculate an - or the optimal - unimodal
isotonic regression of a set
In this case I think it is being truncated to fit. The docs do say to
limit the length of titles to 65 characters if possible; this is one
place where it matters. Your other examples looked shorter, but now I
look again, maybe we weren't seeing all the lines?
I think the 65 character limit is coming from an HTML standard or
recommendation. The title shown in a browser can't be arbitrarily long.
Perhaps we could use a longer version of your title in the index; I
forget exactly where the truncation takes place.
