When I run Quit, then the first time after that I evaluate $ContextPath I get {"IconizeLoader`", "StreamingLoader`", "CloudObjectLoader`", "PacletManager`", "System`", "Global`"}. But running $ContextPath once more after that, it's {"CloudObject`", "Security`", "System`"}. Every later time I get this.

Can anyone reproduce this? Why is that? Shouldn't Global` be part of $ContextPath?

Maybe this is related to symbols being loaded lazily, as in `{Protected, ReadProtected}` System symbols give "Set::write: "Tag * in *[v_] is Protected" on first try ?

  • On Mathematica 10.4, I get {"CloudObjectLoader", "StreamingLoader", "IconizeLoader", "PacletManager", "System", "Global"} each time - the same as your first run, but a slight different. – mikado Jul 02 '16 at 19:42
  • Can you post your precise version (three-part: x.y.z)? – Szabolcs Jul 02 '16 at 21:10

    Yes, Global` must be in the $ContextPath, not only in $Context. Other things that may be important: (1) What's in your init.m? (2) Does it do it if you run the kernel with no front end? (3) Is your suggestions bar on or off? – Szabolcs Jul 02 '16 at 21:14
  • @Szabolcs Thanks for pointing out the Suggestions bar, that must have been it. But it seems fixed in 10.4 (working fine even with the sb). – masterxilo Jul 03 '16 at 15:22

Looks like this is a problem with the Suggestions Bar

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/75284/6804

When I disable it, I get the same context path consistently. This is version 10.2.

The problem does not appear in 10.4, suggestions bar on or off...
