Screenshot of Devhelp search results for "populate-popup"

See the attached screenshot. Search results for "populate-popup" (if the GTK+ book is enabled) include lots of duplicates, because different classes have the same signal name.

It would be nice to know the class that the signal belongs to. Or if it's not possible to know the class, knowing at least the page (usually a page contains only one class).

I'm not sure whether Devhelp should implement this, or if gtk-doc should include the class name in the signal name.

Same problem with properties.
Comment 1 Sébastien Wilmet 2017-05-12 09:05:09 UTC 
To implement it in Devhelp it would require some work, see the FIXME comment of
commit b94c90cb28fa369e0e17181fee70e2f833490050.
