Eirik Bakke updated NETBEANS-5736:
----------------------------------
Description:
In the TreeView component, which is used for the "Projects" tab in the NetBeans
IDE, the user should be able to click anywhere along the width of the component
to select a given node. (Or at least, in the empty space to the right of a
component). Similarly, during drag-and-drop operations, the user should be able
to drop anywhere to the right of the node's icon.
This usability issue came up during user testing of a NetBeans Platform
application. The user complained that files with a short filename were harder
to click than files with long names. The user, a software engineer, pointed out
that the equivalent tree component in IntelliJ allows the entire row to be
clicked or dragged at to target a given node.
TreeView's behavior is derived from its superclass JTree. The OutlineView
component does not have the same problem, as it derives from ETable and in turn
JTable.
PR to follow...
