I find the Calendar Appointment "Subject" really difficult to edit or add to.
The cursor location seems to move jerkily left and right making precise location of it difficult. If you wish to add to the end of the text, it is very difficult to get the cursor to locate at the right hand end of the line. Usually the attempt produces highlighting of part or all of the last word, instead of the cursor moving to the end of the word in readiness for fresh text. Just as often, the down arrow on the right side is inadvertently activated asking for possible functions, when all you want to do is to extend the words on the line. I estimate that I waste an hour or two per month trying to locate the cursor precisely, it is quite irritating.
Recommendation: 1. the display of the last character of the last word on the subject line should be followed at all times by at least one clear space to the left of the down arrow. This would facilitate locating the cursor at the end of that word without triggering the down arrow or highlighting all or part of the last word of the subject line. 2. Move the column of 11 headings of the categories for editing to the left hand side of the screen. There is no reason for "Subject:", for example, to start about 5 spaces to the right of the left margin - it just makes it harder to read and edit the shortened subject line. 3. Facilitate more accurate control of the cursor, and suppress tendancy for all or part of words to be inadvertently highlighted by normal cursor movement.
