Sorry for all the Notes posts everyone while I gain my feed under me.
When I am in a notebook [Jesus] working on a note [deity] and want to create another notebook and note this is what happens.
Currently Working in TEST NOTEBOOK 1, on TEST NOTE 1
Filters Column - create new notebook [+] test notebook 2
Note Editing Column - Select Newly Created Notebook [previous note from previous notebook still visible in the editing column until I create "test note 2".

New Note - Select New Note [previous note [TEST NOTE 1] disappears from editing view and also disappears from the notebook it was associated with. TEST NOTEBOOK 1] Leaving me with now two notes in my subsequent notebook, further, causing me to have to go back and drag the note back to its notebook.

It makes for sense to me to be creating new notebooks from the active editing view, not the filter dialog.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am finding the notes feature a little clunky.
thx Rob.
