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.

Well, with the decision to drop MVC we do not need that class variable.

Boris: Very thanks for valuable info. I have you as the MVC Squeak champ and wish we could have a 3.10 MVC only version many foreigners could appreciate IMHO. I have a Squeak3.7-5989MVC.4.zip , based in your work and with added code letting load .gif , .jpg , .png and .mp3 people ask me from time to time. So , maybe is a niche, but think if you could made a 3.10 MVC or a safe strip script as you made before.
