I prefer keep them panel as small as possible. Having a huge notes field there seems like a lot of wasted screen space. I don't want to maximize the KeePassXC window only to fit the panel.
It's just that I have been using almost every KeePass compatible client, recently more often MacPass and KeeWeb and I can't look without crying at KeePassXC current UI and UX.
It is small changes like this or complete UI redesign or else.
I definitely agree that the notes content should be viewable by default when navigated to. Eg, for my online banking entries I keep things like secret words,places, account numbers etc in the notes field. Having to constantly switch tab to the notes is a bit pointless. Especially when the general tab appears to just be repeated data from the main view anyway? Why not just remove the general tab or relegate it to some non-default tab and promote notes to the default?
Placing the notes view as default tab in the preview panel will conflict with the current behavior as in #541 and #342
Note: the hidden notes feature is not enforced in the preview panel right now
Also the same reasoning about the main view apply to notes as well.
You can select the notes field to be displayed on there
Hiding notes it's not just an UI feature, it's a security countermeasure. If you store secrets in Notes and additional attributes they should behave like a password field.
Maybe some people prefer seeing passwords and secrets in clear text in the main view, but it shouldn't be a default

On small screens (1360*720) the Notes text field can't fit below there

I do not agree with this change.

Why even have tabs, this is 2009 KeePassX 0.4.4 as example

Comparing allocated screen space, in current KeePassXC, General tab not very good.
droidmonkey commentedon Mar 1, 2018
Compromise: if the details panel is currently set large enough, the notes get put in the available space below the expiration.
phoerious commentedon Mar 1, 2018
You can definitely size the panel down. It doesn't look like it's at its minimum size.
TheZ3ro commentedon Mar 1, 2018
From one side people asking for keeping UX as close as KeePass, at the other side people asking for completely rewrite the UI cause doesn't fit.
Ready, steady, fight!!

With the new extended columns, the default tab is rather useless

IMHO this features is just unnecessary friction in UI, because after main password is entered only thing necessary is time to reach information.

Time to reach information -> Shoulder surfing
