Even with changing the type to Note? I would have expected that it  
decides the way to save by looking at the type, but that is  
apparently wrong. Also the class doesn't seem to be the deciding  
factor. So what is? It seems that every class decides for itself.

We could perhaps include the rest of the text by creating a wrapper  
around -contents, and use that everywhere. In anchored notes it would  
hold the text in the textfield, while the contents is set to the full  
string, created from both texts. It would require a fair bit of  
find&replace though.
