[Gambas-user] Position of inherited classes in the IDE project view

OK! This one has got me absolutely enthralled.

I'll cut to the bottom for what intrigues me

I have never seen this, BUT from

 > When a class is not displayed in the tree where it actually is [1]

I am inferring that when the item was added to the treeview, its' 
"parent" did not exist, for one reason or other, no matter. Anyway, to 
get around this you add it somewhere with the little black triangle. We 
do a similar thing when a node is added to a treeview when the parent 
does not exist by sticking it under an (created if necessary) "unknown" 
root branch.

Now (again, I haven't seen this in the IDE so I am struggling a bit 
here) when you said
 > You just have to display the properties of the file to get its actual 
place.
How does this to work? Does it update the treeview or does it just show 
a popup with the information?

This problem of trying to add a child node before its' parent has 
irritated me for years and I've never found an adequate solution.
