Hey Andrey,
Tried out your changes on my netbook. They work well and do fix the
problems for both the "select ToDo View" menu and the "Show Columns" menu.
Thank you so much...

Wow, you see the Time field in the "Show Columns" menu?
I don't even see "Project status" with my netbook.
This is the same issue as with "Select ToDo View"...
Would love a scroll bar for both of them...

Hey Andrey
I was playing with your new "Time" column. Pretty interesting and I
could see how this would be really useful if you could filter tasks to
just the ones that actually have the "use time" feature checked.
Any plans to add that to the advanced features?

Is it intended that alternative complete only works in manual mode in
the ToDo views?
You can use it in outline but in the ToDo's when you try to use it
(when not in manual mode) it asks you if you want to switch to manual
mode.

Since you already know about the advanced filtering rule in ToDo

Also just wanted to say, the feature to “sort the task flags by their
order appearance” is a great feature to have in MLO.
This feature allows the flag column to be used in so many ways that I
would like

It’s my understanding that Autofocus is an extension of “Do It
Tomorrow.” In DIT, the “call Billy Bob a week from Tuesday” type
tasks are stored in the Diary Calendar and NOT on the tasks pages.

The "Select ToDo View" list of views does not have a scroll-er. If
you have too many views they just go off the screen and there isn't

In ToDo views Filter section, there is a check box right under
