I've noticed a potential problem.  When making a multi-edit, the memo field appears cleared.  If any other edit is made, and the edit is entered, the original memos are cleared too, which is undesirable.
So, what I've done is remove the initial clearing of the memo fields, so their original content is maintained.  As it happens, I made this suggestion in the review - "As with all editing of multiple items, all fields appear as blank initially. This has been retained here with multiple memo editing, but if desired, this could be changed and the field could be left showing previous content, which could be more intuitive for a user wanting to have an empty field."
I hope this is acceptable.  It also avoids the requirement for a user who wants an empty memo, to have to enter a character into the empty memo field in order to delete it to trigger a connect.

It is necessary to enter a character in the memo field in order to signal that an edit has occurred, but now that character may then be deleted to leave the field empty, if that is what is required.
