Annoying Editing Behavior

[SY]

Perhaps it's something I'm doing wrong, if so, please direct me! Here's what
happens that annoys me so ...

When I have a typing box on a page, sometimes I want to start a new box, a
little below the first one. I hover my mouse pointer the equivalent of two
whole lines below the first box and click to start a new space, but ... and
here's the annoying part ... OneNote creates a blank line inside and at the
END of the FIRST box!

To get a new box, I have to click about three or for lines below. Yes, I CAN
do that, but I'm a stickler for intuitive user interfaces, and it IS
intuitive to click on white space to get a new typing box. It is NOT
intuitive that my click on white space would add a line to the end of the box
above!

Comments (helpful ones!) anyone?

This is a common request.
One workaround you can try for now is to double click when you are creating
the new box. Double click makes OneNote position the box exactly where you
clicked, rather than inferring where it should go.

Hope this helps.

Olya, this is a SWEET feature!
