Originally posted by MikeBishop November 15, 2021
The GUID which appears when the mouse cursor hovers over a transaction is presumably useful when debugging sync. That's a vanishingly small fraction of users. I'd suggest the GUID be hidden without enabling dev tools or otherwise specifically seeking out advanced options.

Instead, perhaps the tooltip should display the full text of whatever it's over if it's too wide for its column, and not appear otherwise.

Hey, I'm interested in taking this on, just to get my feet wet a bit with this codebase. I wanted to clarify that we're referring to the GUID that appears (as a title attribute) on the PayeeCell, right? I think the only change we'd need to display the contents of the row here would be to change this line to title={payee.name} (might also need to handle transferAccounts, judging from the getPayeePretty fn)
