I assume reworking the Action prefs UI is on the long term enhancement list. >> I find it a little odd that my Show Contact is 35 but my Edit Contact is 217 >> with Add Note to Contact at 218.

I probably wasn't clear, but when I said "I would have guessed" I meant "I would have guessed that when I deliberately ordered them last..." I'm now guessing that QS didn't change the order of stuff I had done, just added new things. So there isn't a new bug. >> Is Note Contact new? It's at 40.
