Source code comments in Pharo: lots of missing things

Just a question: while looking at the comments for classes in the browser, there are often missing entries, even for pretty classic classes. How comes?

I find myself with a Squeak image running in parallel just to look up some content. So, content that makes sense is available but didn't got carried over to pharo.

Is this a licencing issue? Something else? I have pharo1.0.sources so comments do show where they are available.

Also, some methods look like a decompile with t1 t2.. where the source exists in Squeak with the proper parameters.

Thanks in advance for shining some light in the topic.

Normally this should not be the case. We definitly did not remove comments or renamed t1 t2... to me it looks like a config error or a bug.

Can you tell us an example?

Have you looked at the methods with a fresh image? I've run into the situation a few times that only "decompiled" code is shown and a fresh image has always worked.

Because the classes were not commented.

Which classes?
Because we improved this aspect.

Strange normally we do not have decompiled code.

Quite a few in morphic for example aren't commented anymore.
