Bills - Temporary pop up after creating bill and view bill opening in new window
A slight nuisance when creating bills, that seems to have started happening as part of the new invoicing 'updates' as I never had these two issues before.
1) There is a certain bill transaction that I add monthly, usually 10-15 per month. The lines are always the same so for speed I always copy one bill to another and so on. Once I add the payment Xero sends me back to the home screen and a pop up appears in the bottom left hand corner to 'view bill'. I click on this to then copy the bill for the next one. However... the pop up is temporary, and if I'm multi tasking, or the phone rings, the pop up disappears pretty quickly and I miss it. This makes it difficult to get back into the flow of things if for example it is a phone call or email interruption, to go back to Xero and remember where you were, as Xero has by then defaulted on the awaiting payments screen and the pop up for the last thing I did has gone.
2) When things are in good flow and I've clicked on the pop up to then copy invoice, it opens in a new window. So when doing this 10-15 times, constantly having to close the old windows.
Before you suggest it, I am aware of repeating bills but this feature isn't suitable for this particular transaction. And the copy bill system worked absolutely fine before, but again as with the new invoicing saga, it's disturbing workflow, adding more clicks, creating more work.

Just to add about the temporary pop up, this is also the case when you need to send a remittance. It disappears too quickly so you then have to find the bill to click on the payment to send the remittance if you miss it...
