Description Sébastien Wilmet 2018-01-22 12:02:15 UTC 
See attachment 351699 [details], a screenshot of Devhelp with the search results for "populate-popup" (with the GTK+ book enabled). There are lots of duplicates because different classes have the same signal name.

It would be nice to know the class that the signal belongs to.

In gtk3.devhelp2 the keyword currently looks like:
> <keyword type="signal" name="The “populate-popup” signal"
>   link="GtkLabel.html#GtkLabel-populate-popup"/>

A possible replacement:
> name="The GtkLabel::populate-popup signal"

Same problem with properties. Example of a better name:
> name="The GtkApplication:active-window property"

It is better to solve this problem in gtk-doc, not Devhelp, to fix the problem at the source.
