Martin Alderson commented on DIRSTUDIO-234:
-------------------------------------------

I just wanted to add my vote for Stefan's 3rd suggestion.   I have been bitt
en by this smartness of studio before and had to fall back to another LDAP e
ditor to get the job done.

Alan: As with Stefan, I also suspect that the schema is the problem here.  Y
ou might want to try asking studio to reload the schema from the connection'
s properties dialog box.

> All GUIs should have a tool tip explaining why something is greyed out and what ne
eds to be done to make it active (and it needs to be *useful* information, not just 
"it doesn't apply" or "you're not allowed to do that now" --- it's obvious the *appl
ica
tion* thinks that because it's greyed out).  In this case, I did a search ag
ainst our ldap server, found an attribute that needed removing and did so.  
Then I did another search.  This time the font changed to italic, and when I
 go to delete an attribute,
Delete is greyed out.  There is no clue anywhere as to what's going on.  I s
earched in help for the ldap browser, and found very little.
