Presence of table and column comments not obvious in schema designer #614

From Meriel, Re: Issue 544

I added some comments to my Club membership database

There are table comments on the tables called 'evidence' and 'certainty'. These 
both display beautifully in the data editing view, but are not appearing 
reliably when I hover over the table name in the schema designer. I haven't 
quite worked out what the exact pattern is, but it certainly seems that if I 
make a change to the comment, I can see it immediately afterwards, but if I 
save changes to the database, exit the schema designer, and re-enter, it's 
disappeared (I can still see it by clicking 'Edit table', but not by hovering 
the mouse over the table name).

In my original issue report, I also suggested that it would be good if the 
presence of comments could be signalled in the schema designer as well as in 
the data editing page, so users don't have to hunt for comments by running the 
mouse pointer over every table and field. Would it be feasible to add the 
question mark in a circle symbol to fields/tables with comments in the schema 
designer, too?
