Soo... is the "multiple notes boxes" a no-no because of technical problems or the clutter factor? Or is it possibly something that we can really hope to get back?
BTW, I'd think people experience clutter in different ways. When I open a notes box which is something like a quarter of the size of a poker table, and about one third of it is actually useful for the purpose of taking notes, I see clutter. A notes box doesn't need a save button, ever, nor does it need a cancel - removing those would improve the efficiency of the dialog 20% in a heartbeat. Someone may like bolding or underlining their notes, fine. Not everybody does, so why not give us the option of a clean white (auto)resizing box where to write notes and an X in the corner to close it when it's no longer needed? Currently I can resize the notes box so that I see the player name twice, all the buttons are there but all of the actual payload, i.e. notes, is hidden.
I'm sure you're aware that you can write a note, click on the wrong button (your choice of X or Cancel, actually) and lose the note without a warning.
Did you think about single tabling or session reviews before the decisions? I mean, if I promise to only use the multiple boxes in a clutter-free, non-interfering way, would you consider giving them back to me?
