Wrong Highlights of Matched Words in a Search in User Manual

Problem

When I do a keyword search in the User Manual that is included with the Oxygen XML Developer application, the search highlights the wrong word in the text. Sometimes the highlighted word is several words after the matched word. What can I do to get correct highlights?

Solution

This does not happen when Oxygen XML Developer runs with a built-in Java virtual machine, that is a JVM that was installed by Oxygen XML Developer in a subfolder of the installation folder (for example, on Windows and Linux when installing Oxygen XML Developer with the installation wizard specific for that platform). When Oxygen XML Developer runs from an All Platforms installation, it uses whatever JVM was found on the host system, which may be incompatible with the JavaHelp indexer used for creating the built-in User Manual. Such a JVM may offset the highlight of the matched word with several characters, usually to the right of the matched word. To see the highlight exactly on the matched word, it is recommended to install the application with the specific installation wizard for your platform (available only for Windows and Linux).
