Description Marian Mirilovic 2005-04-13 11:14:36 UTC 
NB4.2 (200504121800), JDK1.5.0_02 (fcs)

If you open Favorites view, there is no Favorites node. (see attached screenshot).
It works fine in NB4.1 .

BTW: if there is no Favorites node, there is no way to add any folder/file from
the outside of all opened projects to favorites view.

This is not regression but improvement :). Please see issue #57068 for more
detail. In short root node was displayed just for one reason - to be able to
invoke action Add to Favorites using popup menu. As enhancement #57068 now
enables to invoke this action from free space in view (popup menu) displaying of
root node in view (Favorites) is now useless - we can save some space. If you do
not agree consult HIE.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2005-04-13 16:32:00 UTC 
So, why we have still Runtime node in Runtime view ?
Comment 4 jrojcek 2005-04-13 16:33:41 UTC 
Runtime should go away as well. (Probably not as part of this issue.)
Comment 5 Marian Mirilovic 2005-04-14 08:21:17 UTC 
Just note: 
I am curious how our users find this menu, but fine, I've filed new issue
regarding Runtime root node (issue 57864)
