Sidenotes are positioned vertically automatically which is a great thing and the baseline of a sidenote's first line of text is aligned to the baseline of its reference marker. This is great but I wish there was an option to align it to the top of the leading for when a sidenote is beside a tall inline image.

For example, I wanted the first sidenote in this screenshot to be aligned near the top of the inline image because it's a tip for that image. If I were to position the marker to the right of the image as shown in the second sidenote, the tip would be in the wrong position.

I usually avoid this by inserting the reference marker at the end of the previous paragraph. I did that in this example in the previous version of my manual but when I added more text before it today the image was pushed to the next page. And because there wasn't space on the previous page for the sidenote and flow control was option, Publisher pushed the last two lines of the previous paragraph to this page. Using the workaround created a gap when the text changed.

There was no workable solution so I ended up removing the tip and adding it to the previous page as body text. But then that left me with the inline image at the top of the page which triggered the invisible note bug for the three other sidenotes on this page. I spent half an hour fiddling with this page trying to find a way to get the sidenotes to appear in the right place and to stay visible.
