I don't use the cover grid.

I use the Manage [category] items dialogue (via Shift+F2 in the book list) to add new category items and apply category items to books. For me it is significantly less error prone that adding and selecting in line. I would normally know I wanted to attach a note to a category item when I added it, which is why I started this conversation there.
