Oxygen 16.2 Eclipse Plugin

My colleagues have discovered that when Track Changes is on in a DITA topic, they cannot select and delete the <b> element and a few others. The following is an excerpt from an email that describe the problem.

Once track changes is turned on, the <b> would not go, indeed I surrounded the text and the <b> with <guicontrol>, and then it had the cheek to tell me that was an illegal construct. So definitely the <b> does not delete with change bars on. So to me that is a bug. [...] I have found a workaround. You turn off track changes momentarily, delete the <b>, then turn it back on again.

Hello,

they cannot select and delete the <b> element and a few others.

You should be able to select them but when you press Delete the elements wont disappear but instead they will be rendered strike-through. A reviewer will have to accept this change afterwards (from the contextual menu select Accept change(s)) and the element will disappear. This is the intended behavior.

In case I haven't fully understood the situation, can you please ask you colleague to send us on support@oxygenxml.com a small XML sample together with a step by step procedure to reproduce the situation?

Best regards,
Alex
