Upgrade Storage[user interface] formatting options consume too much space when editing notes
Hey there,
I often use Zotero in non-fullscreen mode on my latop wich runs on a resolution of 1280x800. Under these conditions screen real-estate is limited.
I find that the extensive formatting options which become visible when I write a note on an item take up too much space on the screen. I don't think you need all these formatting options anyway, if you just want to write a short note on something (and I believe that's what most people use this function for)
I suggest to either remove the formatting options completely or make it possible to disable them in the settings.
I uploaded a screenshot demonstrating how little space is left for actually writing my note when there are two rows of formatting options: http://malte.koester.googlepages.com/zoteroscreen.jpg
I hope you will work on this in future versions.
Otherwise Zotero really rocks! You're doing great work!

In the interim, I recommend opening your notes in their own window. You can either click on the button in the right column, or double click the item in the center column.
