I have noticed myself that some of the redactions can get to a stage where there is a tiny sliver at the end of the bar that isn't filled. It can be progressed fully, but can be a bit fiddly. I need to think up a way to make that stand out a bit more I think. (I have also noticed that some of the reactions overshoot the text that needs redacting which needs fixing eventually)
As for the sequences, the balancing is all over the place I do agree with you. A patch I am working on will hopefully address your frustrations and add a feature or two that will help smooth the experience a bit.
Thanks for playing anyway, I'll put any patch work I do in a dev log!
