Cannot Type in Elements or XPath

Post by nhouldin »

Hello,

I can't type elements, attributes, or values in documents or type in the XPath bar. As soon as I type an opening angle bracket, I get a drop-down menu for content completion (which I want enabled), but then can no longer type with my keyboard. To type again, I have to click the document to close the drop-down menu. The same thing happens when I try to use XPath. I wasn't having this issue until a week or two ago and have not been able to replicate the same problem on other machines.

When I turn off "Enable content completion" in Preferences, I am able to type in the elements. I want to have content completion enabled and to be able to type in tags and XPath.

I have rebooted my system and updated to Oxygen 25, but am still having the same problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello,

Can you please send us a small sample document and an XPath expression where you encounter this case ?
I cannot reproduce the problem on our side.

Regards,
Mircea.

Same problem for some weeks.
<oXygen/> XML Editor 25.0, build 2023013006
Windows 10 Éducation 22H2
I delete all data in com.oxygenxml, but can’t have back completion.
The exact problem is on keypress. When popup with suggestions is visible, impossible to add chars, I have to scroll window and click a suggestion. Absolutely not productive.
Every day user of Oxygen for about 15 years, it makes me the software unusable.

Hi,
It seems that Oxygen considers that you have enable special support for accessibility in your operating system:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... 3c_fzn_j3b

Please close Oxygen, open a command prompt, "cd" to the Oxygen installation folder something like:

Code: Select all

cd C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 25
then run:

Code: Select all

jre\bin\jabswitch -disable
to disable the special accessibility support then re-start Oxygen.

Regards,
Radu
