* follow the red thing, my cursor, hovering or clicking, as I chase a purple thing, sometimes a distant small speech bubble icon, which drops a menu, which draws beyond the bounds of the window so I can't see what I'm looking for, and I scroll horizontally and vertically and so on, trying, failing to see the hidden part of the menu that might show me whether a single highlight is shared with a group.
First round highlights feel as good as in the past, if I'm not sticking notes, because Diigolet drops its menu in such an excellent way. Please, don't ever lose that.
First round feels less good if I combine a highlight with a note. We have a separate topic about things that are wrong with the (yellow) window.
Second and subsequent rounds of annotation feel fiddly, but not enough to make me rant.
Do the pros of the additional features (a more heavyweight Diigolet) outweigh the cons (much, much slower to work with than in the past)? I remain undecided. Early days!
I'm still frustrated daily by the clunkiness of Diigolet 4.x.
3.x was far more streamlined.
I'm fairly sure that if the design did not require the user to move away from the highlight, to the speech bubble icon above the highlight, then highlights would be much easier to work with (and we wouldn't have problem such as http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/986182) …
/ Diigo Community/ highlights and stuck notes: contextual menus are less streamlined, more fiddly in Diigolet 4.0b14
colours unpredictable, varying, confusing
> hover carefully over each one of the many highlights
> to discover whether it's in a group
For the first time ever in Diigo, I'm struggling with a core feature: the highlighter pen.

This is crazy :-(

… recurring often enough, and preventing me from sticking notes, that (with regret) this topic is turning into a rant …
