Ok, I have also never had the desire to turn the secondary palettes on
or off during the regular workflow. Either I have them shown by default
(which is what I usually do) or not (a regular editor which can
concentrate on the most important fields).

Since this is the last "checkbox" we have below each editing form, I
think it would be nice to move it away.

Maybe you are mixing it up with the "extended view" checkbox in the list
module? This one I usually turn on / off during my workflow and is
untouched by this patch.

Cheers,
Ernesto
