In regular text, + label boxes are not completely visible (because we shrinked the margin on + screen?). Inside of insets, they don't work at all. Should we remove this + feature completely as the overall benefit for the user is marginal? -- No icon for "note-next" in the "review" toolbar +* Too much painting 2 (Edwin 3/11/2006): There is also a lot of painting going + on when selecting text.

(Not sure how it would be on my + slow-but-still-usable laptop.) -- some English menu items don't have a '&' character. -(box,date,paste...) +* Slowness on MAC 2 (Bennett 3/11/06): + Speed is still an issue typing in insets: noticeable lag between typing and + text appearing on screen.
