Created attachment 122075 [details] proposed patch v1 Changing the display name of a node should also update it's position inside the connection list. The attached patch should fix that.
Applied as http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/d47be20b52b7 I've slightly changed the code, so that the renamed node is selected in the explorer after renaming. I've not found any reliable way other than adding a temporary NodeListener to RootNode. If you have a better idea, please let me know. Again, thank you very much, Matthias.
