Title: Issue 1045 - Disable cut mode in note editor.

Since we've decided to keep the existing note editor for the next release, I thought I'd go ahead and disable that circle button on the right that covers RTL fields, making them difficult to edit.

I have no regrets about removing this since I doubt anyone is using it correctly. I actually figured out what it does, but that's only because I read the code for it. It's meant to quickly cut text out of your field.
1 - Touch circle to enable -> all words get strikethrough
2 - Tap the words you want to *keep* -> strikethrough removed from words to keep
3 - Touch circle to remove all text *but* the ones you selected above.

It's not very obvious.

This commit comments out the creation and some setup calls to that circle object, so we don't end up adding it.
