that is why I vote for having some type of notification icon for items with notes attached :wink: then the players or a visiting DM can see this info without the need for hover windows.

Yes...the DM can do this, but not the Players. I mean I would rather send the text to the chat window when the player clicks it...and have it say who clicked it. This way they know who clicked on what. and what was the text. And that process is lengthly...IE alot of steps. If like what Dorponds said about the eye or highlight the object is done, then this info can be sent to the chat window and not affect the map much. The GM needs the access to the panel to adjust other information...but there is nothing the player needs to do with items like this but to click for further information.

Is that not the reason for the seperate Player Info and GM info...Player Info is what the player sees and the GMs info is what the GM doesn't want them to know right away.

Bug, I thought I had fixed that :P
This is definitely fixed for 1.2b20 :)
