Summary0004398: No way to see at a glance if a track has comments.
DescriptionIn A2, the 'Comments' button changes its colour and appearance when there are comments on a track, making it easy to see at a glance which tracks have comments attached. With the move of 'Comments' to the track name's context menu in A3, this has disappeared, so the only way to see whether a track has comments is to actually open its comments box, which I think sort-of defeats the object of comments if you have a lot of tracks, since you have to remember which tracks you wanted to remember something about...
TagsNo tags attached.

strongly seconded. perhaps the bottom connection button could be split in half (same size as group and metering point selectors) to make room for a track comment button like in a2, which is colored for tracks that have comments.

I think it was removed to preserve vertical space. It could perhaps be optional, or as suggested, a half-width button.

I think the most important thing is to have some visual indication of the presence of comments: a dedicated button would be nice, but I was thinking that maybe something like prepending a '*' to the displayed track name might be enough.
