Re: Two small mathed quibbles.

Working with mathed in 2.3.1, I've noted a couple of small items.
1. Some primes need more space. Lowercase: t', d'; uppercase T', E', F'.
(T' is the worst.) This is using the default Times New Roman at 150% zoom.
Could you show a screenshot? I do not see it.
2. It seems much harder now to select a subscript with the mouse in an
inline formula without selecting the symbol it is attached to, e.g.
selecting 'i' with the mouse in $f_{i}$, particularly when there is
another line of text in the same paragraph below the formula. This was
always a bit fiddly but seems to be considerably more delicate now.
Is it more delicate because the cursor is too small to be seen? What
kind of setup do your have? What would you suggest to do?

No idea, but PayPal will do the currency conversion for you. If you want
to find out how many euros 10 dollars is, say, just google "10 dollars
in euros". Then give that many euros.
Once you log into PayPal, and right before you actually pay, PayPal will
tell you how many dollars it is, since your account is in dollars. There
are of course some fees built into that, so it will probably be slightly
more.

Non-native dialog
Hi, FYI, on Windows 10 the non-native file dialog, activated with \use_native_filedialog false, causes a severe reduction in functionality. In particular, it does not show the custom quick access folders. I guess that is why it is not turned on by default and might never be so. However, I am wondering whether a number of sub-entries under the New and Open menu, like Libre Office, might be preferable to custom dialogs. For example, there could be New > Document (Ctl+N) From Template... (Ctrl+Shift+N) etc. Open > Browse... (Ctrl+O) Documents...
