You mean, the Info mode manual, not the Emacs manual.

I fixed the last one of these 3 sections, as only it includes the full
description of the variable, and the other two only discuss limited
effects of the variable.

Indeed, the doc string of a variable is the recommended place to look
first for the details of the variable.  The manual could provide some
background and more elaborate info, but it could also completely
ignore the variable (we don't document every variable and every
function in our manuals).

With that, I'm closing this bug report.  Thanks.
