Using kit 0300325 Occurs with J2SE 1.4.0_03 and J2SE 1.4.1_02 on Windows 2000 and RedHat 7.2 To reproduce: 1) Set the Explorer in focus, click somewhere 2) Type the spacebar A detached textedit (for renaming a node?) appears in the top right corner of the Explorer.
I was also confused by this when I saw it first time. But it is ASDESIGNED. I do not know how it is called, but it allows you to fastly select a node. Start typing name of the node and watch that node which name begins with the entered text is selected.
