I recalculated the old one. I also made a dependency between task2.1 and 
task2.2 just for fun. But task1.1, task2.1 and task2.3 is still scheduled in 
parallel (see attachment).

I don't think this is that bad, but I do have a different suggestion: When you 
hit "calculate" button all trees in all views are collapsed. I suggest to add 
"collapse all" and "uncollapse all" buttons in all tree-views. The state of 
each tree-view should also not change when you press "calculate" button or do 
save/open.
