(Sorry for spam just came up with another) All of those are addressing my general personal disorientation whenever managing Leo, some of those feelings I couldnt notice until I really understood what was happening.
Another example of this would be when searching through results (F2-F3), the outline keeps expanding and moving all over. Again, disorienting. Again, I would change that so it doesnt move the outline. And I mean disorienting because when I was learning Leo, specially through big outlines, its difficult enough to know what is happening with Leo, but also you have to interpret what did those violent outline changes mean, and then try to find where you were. When you are very used to an outline this is not so important, but when you are starting and making your first outlines, until you memorize them, each movement like the mentioned makes you wonder were were you and were did you want to go.
