Yes, the original version of the notebook did that. Nobody really liked it very much, and it greatly reduced the general "snappiness" of the notebook. It was a feature that I had implemented, then removed, and there wasn't much in the way of complaint when it vanished (especially since things were much snappier afterwards). > Why don't we have the old functionality now, maybe in a collabsible > sidebar or something. (or is it there and I just missed it?) Because it is slow and cumbersome and error prone.
