No, the selection is in the PDF view (the main view!), not the table. The expected behavior is for the main view to be the target. We don't use the table selection as the target on purpose because it's too much secondary. For one the table could be hidden, in which case you would have no indication what you're actually doing. Moreover, the table does not contain all information (in particular this one). So again you would be doing something without indication about what you're doing. > > I'm sure you could batch-change these note properties with Applescript, but > if I just want to quickly change the underlines in a few places from red to > green, I'm probably not going to start writing code.

Really, there is no acceptable alternative, we've gone through that before (case closed).
