That's true. We intend to improve the usability of the tree view over the time by suppressing annoying behaviors like the one you have described. In fact, * We find the tree view to be very good when used alone (for example, when you have no CSS style sheet for the document being edited). * We find the tree view to be *unusable* when used as a command pad for the styled view. But may be, with little efforts, we could make it usable to please XXE users like you. > As an additional proposal, I find very useful to have drag-and-drop > capabilities in the tree view (the now free Morphon XML WYSIWYG editor > has this feature). Sorry but this would require too much development efforts.
