I'd vote to fix this by implementing per-transaction comments.

If you use a address per transaction, as recommended, they are per-address.

Per-transaction comments would be a useful addition, though we have to be careful that people don't confuse them for messages that are sent with transactions... and then being surprised that the recipient doesn't see the comment.

I think transaction-tied signed messages would be handy. Let people add them in addition to recipients, and then display the signatures out-of-band after sent (and let them view them again later by double-clicking the txn).

These are the steps I believe should be taken to close this:
- Remove Edit Label in Transaction View
  
  PR #211 removed the ability to Edit Label in the Transaction View. The removal of this feature will prevent confusion that you are editing a unique identifier for that transaction.
- Add ability to add a comment to a Transaction (this would be local on the machine)

This issue shouldn't be fixed (gui#211 should be reverted). Per-transaction is per-address.
