New Invoice - Cursor Default Position
In the old Invoicing, when creating a new invoice the cursor would default to contact field so as soon as the screen opened you could start typing to bring up the contact. With the new Invoicing you have to click on the screen in the desired field to be able to type anything.
Please fix this, it is extremely frustrating.

Hi team, rounding back on this one again. Thanks for raising this with us, our team have confirmed they have been looking at this behaviour and are looking to make a change to default the cursor to the Contact field. I'll move to working on it and we'll keep you updated here :)

I hope this is fixed soon as I can be typing 'nowhere' only to realise I have to select the field manually, I much prefer when the Contact field is automatically selected when creating a new invoice!

New Invoicing change - I now have to click in Contact Field of every Invoice.
Has Xero made a change here?
When I create a new invoice, it used to automatically take me to the Contact field so that I can add the contact.
I now have to Click in the contact field for me to input a contact for the invoice...
This is messing with my muscle memory again...I thought Xero were trying for less clicks, not more clicks?Am I going insane?

Thank you for the update and I can see the value of having a short cut pop up to the account contact info, perhaps as a suggestion to maintain the cohesiveness of the system it would be a god idea to maintain the hyperlink as a link back to the main contact page (like all the links work throughout the system) and add a small 'i' - info icon in the invoice template to access info as a pop up.

The company name used to be a hyperlink to take you back to the contact main page when you are viewing an invoice. Now it gives you a summary box of the company address - really dont see the value of this change. It has introduced yet another change to the flow of work that creates more clicks per action. You cant get out of the invoice unless you use the browser back button or Control-enter on the company name (twice) to open a new tab of the contact. Please restore the company name hyperlink to the company contact page. Its the first hyperlink in the whole system that does this type of action and just seems very strange
