As it's categorized as Unknown, I would guess that you have created it by yourself by accident. This can happen when you do-it/print-it MyUnknownGlobal and confirm the automatic undeclared variable dialog to create a new class. Is that possible? You could validate that hypothesis by locating the class def in your changes file or your change set.

Yes, and they're fine because they are within the class(es) that 'own' that class variable. Use the scope, Luke!

That.... is weird. I don't see it in my 22709 update squeak 6 image. I wouldn't expect to see it.
