Sorry, looks like SourceForge rejected it as spam (they don't like the mail 
server for my handheld any more).  Here's what I wrote:

I don't find them comfortable, I don't use them, and I 
probably never will - although I do kind of like them in 
theory, and would understand if others did in 
practice.

That rearrangement just now was based on what 
seemed right for stacked mode, though I realised 
after switching to check in tabbed mode that it didn't 
feel right there, hence my doubtful commit report. 

I was also gearing up to ask what people thought we 
should do about stacked mode, given that the omission 
of the extended track properties in stacked mode is 
a serious showstopper in my book (i.e. I don't see 
tabs as a good enough answer).  We probably need 
a quick open/close toggle for the extra properties in 
each box, or something similarly unwieldy.  And then, 
yes, a vertical scrollbar for the whole area.  Damn it. 

There are quite a few things like this that I'm finding 
unsatisfactory about the parameter box layouts still, 
but it's hard to articulate the questions, let alone 
find the answers (the one is probably a significant 
step toward the other).  I did find myself agreeing 
with much of your email just now.

Sorry, "in my book" is just an idiom.  It means "from my point of view", "for 
my purposes", or "in my opinion".
