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

[Markus Flatscher]

Adrian,

thanks for looking into this, and for the advice. Things work as usual 
after following it.

Is there a way for a user to obtain some information from the 
application when certain settings change default behavior (a report, a 
warning message, or the like)?
