$ cfg ['ShowBrowseComments'] boolean $ cfg ['ShowPropertyComments'] boolean By setting the appropriate variable to TRUE, you can enable the display of column comments in the Browse or Properties window. In view mode, comments are displayed inside the title. In property mode, comments are displayed using a dashed line in CSS format under the field name. The comment is shown as a hint for this field.

So ... It looks like there is a comment on it in the field

edit: you can read the comment using:

SHOW FULL COLUMS FROM tbl_name LIKE 'col_name';

I think this means that you have defined a comment for this field, and this PhpMyAdmin is a polite way to show that you can hover over it and read it. enjoy
