I agree it doesn't matter here, but just for completeness, I meant that
if I set a breakpoint before line 2, so before the overwrite:

```js
    constructor: function(conf) {
        let me = this;
=>        me.extraRequestParams = {};
        me.initConfig(conf);
        me.callParent();
    },
```

... `extraRequestParams` is not a property of `me`, but inherited from
its prototype:

```
>> me.extraRequestParams
Object { "allow-move": 1 }
>> "extraRequestParams" in me
true
>> Object.hasOwn(me, "extraRequestParams")
false
```

Doesn't make a difference for the overwrite, though.

It works in the sense that it fixes the bug mentioned in my patch 1/3,
and fixes the lost `allow-move` issue from the previous constructor. But
with this constructor, all instances of `AddVM` share the same
`extraRequestParams` (the body of the `if` never gets executed for
`AddVM` instances), which is the condition that my patch 2/3 tries to
avoid (even though it is currently not buggy).

Maybe we could do:

```js
    extraRequestParams: {},

    constructor: function(conf) {
        let me = this;
	me.extraRequestParams = Ext.clone(me.extraRequestParams);
        me.initConfig(conf);
        me.callParent();
    },
```

... which, if I'm not missing anything, *should* cover everything (with
the cost of allocating unnecessary empty objects)?
