[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65220] get_help_text returns docstring from parent methods

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug#65220 (group octave):

whoops, submitted the preview... the third one should have been meth not
method (and snipping all the html links):


>> help foobar_class.meth
  comment inside method


now, removing the main 'prior' one and doing a clear -c:


>> help foobar_class
  comment inside classdef block

>> help foobar_class.foobar_class
  comment inside classdef block

>> help foobar_class.meth
  comment inside method

>> help foobar_class.A
  comment for property A



also removing 'inside constructor':


>> help foobar_class
  comment inside classdef block

>> help foobar_class.foobar_class
  comment inside classdef block

>> help foobar_class.meth
  comment inside method

>> help foobar_class.A
  comment for property A


replacing it but removing 'inside method'

>> help foobar_class
  comment inside classdef block

>> help foobar_class.foobar_class
  comment inside constructor

>> help foobar_class.meth
foobar_class/meth is a function.
    meth(obj)

>> help foobar_class.A
  comment for property A


replacing that and the 'prior to classdef keyword' (back to original state)
but just removing 'inside classdef block'


>> help foobar_class
  comment prior to classdef keyword

>> help foobar_class.foobar_class
  comment inside constructor

>> help foobar_class.meth
  comment inside method

>> help foobar_class.A
  comment for property A


also removing 'inside constructor':


>> help foobar_class
  comment prior to classdef keyword

>> help foobar_class.foobar_class
  comment prior to classdef keyword

>> help foobar_class.meth
  comment inside method

>> help foobar_class.A
  comment for property A

are others that look important
