For sure it was auto-storing before. There was a minor (though annoying)
bug causing the comments to be copied sometimes when you moved through
the game with comment editor open.

Recently I had to comment quite a lot of game using Scid and I can say
that current behaviour is even worse. In fact, annotating a game in Scid
is a usability nightmare (probably always was, I just didn't do a mass
annotation).

Here are the problems:
1. Requirement to press 'Store' as mentioned above. It is so easy to
lose a long comment because you forgot to press the Store button.
2. No 'Store and Close' shortcut to close comment editor and focus on
the game again. Needs mouse.
3. No easy way to go to the next/previous move (again, requires mouse
clicking)
4. Very complicated way of editing (quite common) pre-move comments
(mostly at the start of a variation. Now you need to switch to mouse to
click on subvariation and then: either click on board to focus on it and
use mouse wheel to go one move back, or switch to keyboard again and
press Left). It will be nice to have some shortcut for that (Ctrl+Shift
+E is already taken, though).
5. TAB does not work in editor (it should switch between NAG and comment
edit boxes. Again, you have to go for mouse.
6. Comment edito box does not fill the space when resizing Comment
editor (makes it hard to edit longer comments).
7. No way to hide rarely used Comment editor board/colors/arrows.
Desktop space is precious when you translate a book and have Scid and
PDF viewer on your screen.
