OK, I see now. You can extend the space given for the note's text description by pulling down the bottom of that line. For some reason I seemed to believe that this would show the note's content as well as its description; perhaps I was just using the little triangle before. I am not seeing the little triangle, even for new notes. In either case, I will welcome it back in the next release! > > >> Also, the icon for the note will remain centered top-to-bottom along >> the right edge of the note, if I extend the note's lower boundary.
