I think you are talking about the "Remote Scratchpad" view. I don't use it often, and it does overwrite the property window's details if I click it, so on every install I close the "Remote Scratchpad" tab.
Alternatively, instead of closing it you can drag the "Remote Scratchpad" tab to a different set of tabs and it should not interfere with the properties view, or right-click the tab and select "Fast View" which will make the tab available as an icon in the bottom left of the screen.
Whichever method you choose you can prevent the tab from coming back later by clicking the windows menu and the "Save Perspective As..." option to overwrite the default RSE perspective.
Apparently you can drag and drop items from the Remote Systems view onto the Remote Scratchpad and then use the scratchpad as your place for common items to deal with - a bit like a flexible filter. So, if you need/want to get it back after closing it, then just open the Window menu again, select "Show View|Other" (or press ALT-SHIFT-Q Q as the default keypress on RDP v8) and type "Remote Scratchpad" (or whatever it is in French) into the filter box.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDP 8.0.3 petit truc
When I click on an object in an RSE filter to look at the properties panel, I see another tab that says <Remote note pad> (my translation). Don't know what this is, but if I select it then click back on <Properties>, it's the notepad that now shows in the properties panel.
Just sayin'
