Of course, when it is open it takes up real estate on the screen, therefore reducing the amount of area for viewing and working with the design. That means you have to scroll around more, taking more time and is more fatiguing. It matters when you are digitizing all day. I don't think a "cure" is required for the properties box, but thanks for worrying about it. I don't have version 9 yet, but it's on its way.
