I haven't been able to test extensively, but the testing I have done has not deleted my checklist/note yet. Besides, it makes sense. I have been hitting the "X" thinking it was a "Close" button like you surmised. I am glad you pointed me to it. Also, with your explanation I have been able to identify the "random" behavior. What was happening has been my random choice to open Notezilla (and therefore the checklist note) versus letting the automation handle it. I have been unwittingly deleting the checklist. The good news is Notezilla does not have this "bug." I thought my report was strange given the stability and popularity of the app.
Obviously, I haven't read the manual yet, but will do so as I need to discover the yet unknown capabilities. My apologies to Conceptworld and y'all for the inconvenience of a "false positive."

FloatingWords has been my goto StickyNote thing. but it's definitely more intrusive than you want.
This is a great idea and may solve my problem of needing a constant reminder of Keys and Commands while playing a game. Thanks!

Just uploaded a new version of TextOverlayTool that might solve your problem. Again, it depends on whether your application is Full Screen, or Full Screen Windowed. If it's full screen, it would require a lot of low level coding and display via the mechanism it is using to draw, i.e. OpenGL or DirectX. If it's fullscreen windowed, this should work.

I was using v7 when I recommended it to you, upgrading to v8 right after. Had I not done that, I wouldn't have known about the X even being there. As you can see in my original screenshots, it had the trash can there, instead of the X.
That change in the UI threw me off a bit at first, too. I was looking for the trash can when I wanted to delete a note, not immediately associating X with deleting (like you, my mind has been trained to think X in that position means close). I was hunting all over the place for the trash can.
