Content Completion pop up traps all keyboard inputs

[AlPa]

I recently got issues with the content completion pop up, that suddenly appeared. As soon as I start typing a < the content completion pop up appears and traps all my keyboard inputs, which means I cannot continue typing and have to cancel it with escape, before resuming. This obviously massively disrupts the workflow and it's annoying, if you always have to manually reopen it everytime you actually need it.

I've been working with Oxygen Developer for the last 5 months and just can't recall that it ever behaved this way. I can't recall changing any settings concerning the content completion, so I'm not quite sure why this is happening all of a sudden. However I also can't remember if I was ever able to continue typing, even with the content completion pop up open.

My current Version is 24.1 and my previous version was 24.0. I did the update just today. I also reset all settings and even uninstalled and reinstalled it, but the behavior is still the same as described.

Is that how the pop up is supposed to work? If so that is unfortunate and could be improved on.

As for now I just set the delay to 2000ms, which is fine as a workaround. Still I'd like to know what is going on.

Hi,

Oxygen has a special working mode for people who have accessibility problems, for example for people using screen readers to work with it.
It seems you might have somehow enabled accessibility support in the Java virtual machine across your entire operating system.
If you open a command prompt on WIndows, navigate to your Oxygen installation folder's "jre\bin" subfolder and issue the "jabswitch -disable" command, something like:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Developer\jre\bin>jabswitch -disable

Then re-start Oxygen and see if it helps.

Regards,
Radu

Hi,
that was the solution! Thank you a lot!
I recently installed a screen reader for testing a web frontend. Never thought that this would be related, but now the explained behavior makes sense.

Thanks once again!
