(comment from inherited method)

cleanup in low-memory situations

 for: anEditView

 isAbstract

(comment from inherited method)
Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned for Object here; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.

Instance protocol:

 editView: anEditTextView

 buttonPress: button x: x y: y

 editViewLostFocus

this is a hack for Windows:
on windows, an activate:false event is first sent to my textView,
then an activate is sent to the completion popup.
this is done BEFORE the buttonPress event is delivered.
therefore, allow for the activate of the completionMenu and its button event to be processed.
before forcing it to be closed...

 handleKeyPress: key x: x y: y

return true, if I have eaten this keypress

 postKeyPress: key

only update, if already open
