[oXygen-user] 11.2 XPath box in Find/Replace stuck?

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

 From our tests the XPath field is disabled in the Find/Replace dialog 
only if the file size is larger than the minimum limit set in the option 
"Optimize loading ..." at the moment of opening the file in Text editing 
mode. If you increase the value of the minimum limit option above the 
file size *after* opening the file you have to reopen the file in order 
to disable the large file support for that file which will re-enable the 
XPath field.

If the value of the option is larger than the file size when you open 
the file in Text editing mode *and* the XML file is well-formed the 
XPath field is enabled. This is the behavior that I get on Mac and 
Windows in both the current build (the Download page of the website) and 
the build 2010031611.

If the value of the option is larger than the file size please attach a 
zip archive with a sample file for reproducing the problem.


Thank you,
Sorin
