Although the test cases I reported in this bug are indeed fixed in 7.3 (no extra unnecessary degree 3 processing), the much larger system from which these examples were derived still exhibits the problem. That is, in this larger system touching a class still causes degree 3 processing on many classes. In this case, touching the original class (source/reticle_view.e) causes degree 3 to be done on 129 classes. Touching a different class (source/reticle_view_element.e) causes degree 3 to be done on 482 classes. Perhaps I should give you the full system, but it is a *lot* of classes.
