Here is my contribution to the master wish list;
What about an up arrow and a down arrow to move a comment from the red to black section or the other way around.  Now if I decide to move a comment up from red, I cut it to the clipboard, delete it from the red section, add a comment box to the black section and paste.
A click on an arrow would be much nicer.  The need to move a comment may not arise often but if it doesn't involve hours of writing code, this may make a valuable option.

Hi Bert,

Is this for a comment that's not already on the left side? Because then you could just click the red comment and click deleted, then click the comment on the left and click black. It would be one click extra total. The thing I would worry about if the move up/down extended between the two panels would be people accidentally clicking up one too many times and making black item red without noticing it. Very good idea. Just need to think it out.

Right.  It would only make sense for comments that are not on the left side.  Obviously I haven't made a lot of reports yet but the few I've done I either add to the comment on the left or make a new comment altogether.  By the time I've done a hundred or so reports I may have edited the left column comments to the point that I won't feel the need to change them while writing the report.
I wasn't thinking of using the same arrows that are there now.  Those arrows should stay the way they are.  Maybe a black up arrow and a red down arrow side by side between the two panels.  Just a thought.
The last report I wrote I made all the comments that required action red and all the suggestions or observations black.  Bad idea.  I ended up with a report that had enough red in it to send Realtors scurrying.  When I was changing all except the serious concerns up to the black section, I got to thinking about the extra arrows.

Got it. Makes sense, we'll see what others say.

If you ever get a report where you feel like that, changing the red to another color like blue will help prevent you from looking like an alarmist but still get the point across.

I would like the option of just selecting the comment added in black and clicking on red to move it.

Yeah that's what the guys are asking for here. I've added it to the to-do list.
