[Nevada RC3, #030512, jdk1.4.1_02, winXP] 1) set RMI Registry refresh time setting to a short time (500 milliseconds or less) 2) start local registry 3) stop local registry => The local registry node indicates correctly, that the registry is not running, but flashes in the refresh interval. Its behaviour prevents you to select the node - when you select it the node is in a "moment" (refresh interval) deselected. So it makes hard to delete it for example.
Downgraded - the problem appears only under relatively complicated circumstances.
The problem is little bit wider. It happens if a registry node is created for a registry and then the registry is stopped. In this case the node is deselected whenever the refresh time passes.
If the user set the refresh time too short - then it is hard to for example delete the node. A workaround is to set longer refresh time.
