Title: Extra Info displayed, except I didn't enter anything in that field.

x70 has some gray text in ladder view, and it goes away if I uncheck Extra Info in Options.

Documentation reflects that I have entered nothing in that field.

I think that's a physical location for the I/O point (since you can manually assign the Xnn, Ynn, WXnn, WYnn).  Since I don't use the extra info, I just leave it turned off, but I see why it would be a pain to someone who does use it on some points.

I use the Extra Info to show things like wire numbers (if different from address), and physical location. But this one address is showing bananas. Kinda goofy.

You can turn that off in View>Options>Global left hand column midway down.

And it is only displayed if you haven't entered any extra info. Once you've entered extra info it will display what you entered.
