New fault in the Source Box's interface: record description/notes are not being shown
If I clicked my profile at the top right and went to my source box, I used to be able to easily open each source and see the details, same as if I opened the source attached to a profile: I clicked the title and it expanded to show the URL, the index (if any), and the Notes/Description field.
Now, I click on a source title in my box and it shows a label for the description/notes, but without any content, as if I had left the field blank. Moment of panic, because in reality, I spent a significant amount of time entering a full transcription in that field. My typing is still in my text editor, thank goodness, so I click Edit, and see a thoroughly clunky new popup interface. After some interminable scrolling, I see that my transcription is all there already in the Notes field, despite what the supposedly-expanded view was saying.
Grrr! Why is it LYING to me??? Why are the details hidden under three extra layers of mystery meat, additional clicks, and scrolling?
And have I mentioned that I really, truly, absolutely DO NOT APPRECIATE being lied to?

Knock on wood: this fault appears to have been fixed. Source Box on the left, profile's Sources tab on the right.
The Source Box's "Edit" button still goes to the clunky immovable pop-up interface instead of the Sources tab's much friendlier in-situ approach, but I guess we can't have everything.
