Comment (by cnassau):

 > By the way, this is not notebook-specific: from the command line,
 execute "ed" to open an editor. Paste your example into it, save and quit.
 Then do `Test?`

 Somehow I cannot reproduce this from the command line, neither directly
 nor using a temporary file via "ed". But the line that you pointed out
 definitely seems to be the culprit.

 I managed to find an example of this problem "in the wild": if you ask for
 {{{CombinatorialFreeModule.__init__?}}} in a notebook cell you get
 (somewhere in the middle)

 {{{#!python
 sage: class MyAlgebra(CombinatorialFreeModule):
 ...       def _repr_(self):
 ...           return "MyAlgebra on
 %s"%(CombinatorialFreeModule.basis().keys())
 ...       def product_on_basis(self,i,j):
 ...           pass
 }}}

 Here "{{{CombinatorialFreeModule.basis().keys()}}}" should really be
 "{{{self.basis().keys()}}}".
