Even with glasses there is still some myopia left, because I do not change glasses with every small change in myopia, plus my doctor always gives me lower degree glasses to avoid strain on the eyes, apparently perfect vision glasses strain the myopic eye for some reason. "I don't buy this argument at all: tooltips were modified to become unreadable, there are responsibility behind to be taken by someone. FOSS is not an excuse for mere quality." This implies that commercial software does not have crappy GUI, to my experience 90% of it does. Mainly because the GUI is for some weird reason always a low priority in software development. Also being a FOSS is an excuse for mere quality. FOSS is about working for free people do not like working for free Thus its really hard to find developers for FOSS Thus it takes a very long time to fix long standing problems , even ones that are easy to fix. Its not an excuse its a reason and a fact of life. I would love if people stop demanding stuff out of the blue in FOSS and for some weird reason expect that they will magically happen. Sure I can go in and fix this now for Pharo Will I do it ? Nope None will pay me to do it so I rather work on my own projects which I find far more enjoyable anyway. The last time I fixed a bug in Pharo , there was so much complaining about the way I fixed it that I decided that it would be the very last contribution I did, bug fixing wise. Working on Pharo documentation for some reason has been far smoother experiencer for me, maybe because experienced Pharo coders do not care about beginner orientated documentation. Obviously if I find a bug that really bothers me , I will go in an fix, but so far cannot say I have found such a big. Auto completion is the one that annoys me the most, but still can live with it. Thank you for contributing to Pharo with this fix :)
