In the TreeView component, which is used for the "Projects" tab in the NetBeans IDE, the user should be able to click anywhere to the right of the node's icon to select said node. Drag-and-drop should work similarly. 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.
