I'm running Mathematica 9.0.1 under OS X.

In order to have separate contexts for each of my notebooks, I used the instructions in the last part of the accepted answer from the following link:

Is there a way to separate variables between multiple notebooks?

To quote the relevant part of the answer:

"To set this automatically for all new notebooks, open the Options Inspector (Ctrl/Command+Shift+O), and change the scope to "Global Preferences." Then, the option CellContext is found under Cell Options -> Evaluation Options. Change it to "Notebook."

However I've found that after I do this, I lose auto-completion suggestions for symbols that I define in my notebook(s). Is there any way to fix this?

  • $\begingroup$ No problems with autocompletion for me on OS X. Did you set the notebook context after you already loaded the notebook with variables or before? If the former then evaluate the notebook and try autocompletion again. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2013 at 8:01
  • $\begingroup$ @MikeHoneychurch I simply quit and restart mma, and worked with fresh notebooks $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2013 at 8:04
  • $\begingroup$ I confirm the behavior you report. I am also running V.9.0.1. I have found that selecting choice for CellContext except "Global`" induces the behavior in question. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2013 at 23:38
  • $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg Thanks for the confirmation. It appears to be a bug. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 2, 2013 at 5:48
