Folks:
I polishing SqueakLightII (unofficial 3.11) and found in undeclared TextEditorYellowButtonMenu
Still is in source text and last image having is 3.8 in ParagraphEditor class variables.
The TextEditorYellowButtonMenu is very old stuff from the MVC framework. The class variable was used to store a prebuild PopUpMenu that could be used again and again. Prebuilt reuseable menues were one of the tricks that made Smalltalk performant on the computers of the early eighties.
So is still needed ?
For MVC, it is needed, the new morphic menues that the expression ParagraphEditor yellowbuttonMenu provides simply do not work in the MVC environment.
Google bring me some to think we should have, but is not on 3.9 or 3.10.
Any help or hints ?
Well, with the decision to drop MVC we do not need that class variable.
