The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
When working with show inherited turned on, in a class with a large number of superclasses and methods, it can be difficult to determine on which class a given method is defined. Currently I either double click or use F12 to open a free standing method window so I can see on which class in the hierarchy the method is defined. It's very easy to miss the ***ClassName*** entry in the list, or it could be a long way to scroll up the method list before you can infer the class name from the prior ***ClassName*** entry in the list.
It would be nice if there was some way to determine the class for that method without having to open a method window. For example, the tool tip displayed when you hover over a method could include the name of the class where that method is defined in the tool tip, as per the attached mockup. Even better would be if there was a non-intrusive UI element which shows you the class on which the currently selected method is actually implemented.

Somebody just suggested that perhaps this information could be added to the status line details as a non-intrusive means of determining the class where the currently selected method is actually defined.
