Two additional requirements for the existing functionality of 'Show detailed information'.
1. Make the button 'Show detailed information' a toggle button. When detailed information is displayed, clicking the same button again should hide the detailed information.
2. Add a 'Show all detailed information' button. In our workflow a few proof-readers go though all outstanding suggestion for approval or correction. Opening every suggestion individually is a tedious and unnecessary thing to do. Attached is a patch placing a 'Show all detailed information' button in the 'display settings' part of the page. This is not the best place for this button, but it proved the requirement.

The patch is for no 2. The place where the button is placed is not good and the button is not a toggle button. I made the patch as a temporary solution to save me a lot of clicks. Attached is a srceenshot of the patch. The button is the magnifying glass in the bottom left corner of the Display settings area.

The new UI released in Drupal 6.x-alpha1 and 5.x-alpha4 has a toggle button for the details and does display the buttons much closer to the editing fields, so I consider this fixed.
