That's right. It's now on the agenda.

You're right, that's a bug. I'll see what I can do.

That's a good observation. I'll try to fix that.

You're right, this is a GTK limitation that I have not been able to work 
around.

That's a nice feature idea!

That's again a GTK limitation. The calendar has no way of knowing that 
you are hovering over a date. But I guess we could implement some kind 
of copy-paste functionality for the categories.

This is a design decision done by the underlying txt2tags library. 
Single linebreaks can be added with \\ .

That's a good idea.

Thanks for your comments,
