trying to fix completion autopopups when there is nothing to suggest to prevent popping up the empty and useless menu, i stumbled upon this: initializeInstVars (clazz isNil or: [ includeVariables not ]) ifTrue: [ ^ self ]. instVars := clazz allInstVarNames asSortedCollection. instVars := instVars collect: [ :each | NECInstVarEntry contents: each type: #instVar ]. instVars add: (NECSelfEntry contents: 'self' type: #self). instVars add: (NECSuperEntry contents: 'super' type: #super) there's something sick with that.. first we using NECSelfEntry but then, if that's not enough, we pass 'self' as its contents.. but that's also not enough! we pass 'self' as its type as well.. checking many subclasses of NECEntry and how they initialized, it is almost every time the same: - you use NECXXXXEntry , we always pass separate #XXXX as its type like just using NECXXXXEntry not enough to indicate that. i going to fix that as well -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
