Observation Recommendation

High level users wanted to be able to make source control comments while they were in edit sessions.  They would want to see this kind of information in (product).  "Even if it [(product)] captures what you did - it doesn't know why you did it."

This functionality does exist in another version of Logix.  Make sure that this functionality is leveraged when available to (product).
All users wanted to use the scroll wheel on the mouse throughout this evaluation. This functionality should be facilitated.
BUG:  The tool tips for the menu bar were not working all the time, so the user was left to guess via icon recognition.

This should be fixed since new users will be relying on the tool tips.
