		// The first time you create a note from the quick-action menu, it works
		// perfectly. But if you do it again immediately later, it re-opens the
		// page to that first note you made rather than creating an entirely new
		// note. If you navigate around enough (which I think changes the redux
		// state sufficiently or something), then it'll work again.
