<p>How is that any different to what <a href="https://github.com/vincentdephily" class="user-mention">@vincentdephily</a> said? You've expressed it in different terms but the end result is basically the same - if the note layer was only shown because the user started adding a note then it is turned off again when they stop.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I think it's basically the same, except that <a href="https://github.com/vincentdephily" class="user-mention">@vincentdephily</a> also mentioned an off-mode, which probably would require a three way select box or something like that.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Of course the user will probably wonder why the note they just added has disappeared as soon as they close the side panel...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Good point, so we would need to add:</p>
<ul class="task-list">
<li>Always display notes when the panel showing information about a particular note is open</li>
</ul>
