Can we look into an option where if you pause over an item in a list, a popup window can appear that automatically scrolls through the field contents? Sort of like how there is the option to show/hide the popup window but...this thing is really annoying as there is no way to dismiss it without jumping to options and it obscures the list AND it fails at life because its only job is to display information and it trundicated length fields the same as the regular list.

Maybe I want to add an item to a task list but include a few short sentences of informatino for my boss to understand why the hell I'm adding this item to the list. How about creating a "comment" type of control that differs from the standard "text" control in that it supports multiple lines? Then, for 100 bonus points, have comment fields automatically scroll their contents when viewed as a column (50 more points for providing a scroll speed option). So Boss gets a new task item "Approve purchasing for security patrol" and next to it slowly scrolls "Bid from Joe Security of $300/mo covers nightly patrols of.....blah blah" ...or, moving the cursor over the comment field pops up a window with the multi-line contents of that field, with the ability to scroll up and down using the SmartPhone side scroll wheel and dismiss the window with the OK button.

Thanks

JP

Great suggestions! In fact, (you didn't hear this from me) these features, or ones very similar to what you suggest, are coming in the next release. As are a bunch of other nifty features that have been suggested in these forums.
