Known Issues

Due to implementation particularities, Oxygen XML Web Author may exhibit minor behavioral differences:

  • On Android devices the content completion list of proposals might display undefined elements. To prevent this, go to Settings Bandwidth Management Reduce data usage and select OFF.
  • On Safari Mobile and Chrome for Android, there is no warning message if you close the browser page without saving the changes made in the document.
  • Input Method Editor (IME) is fully supported only when running Oxygen XML Web Author in a Chrome browser on a Windows platform.
  • On Safari Mobile, the native Bold, Italic, and Underline actions do not work. As a workaround, use the framework-specific markup.
  • On Android devices, the editing works best with Google Keyboard having the Auto-correction option disabled and the Show correction suggestions option set to Always hidden. Alternatively, you can use Google voice typing.

    Note

    Using other keyboards can lead to unpredictable results. If your document gets corrupted, use the Undo button.
  • On Safari Mobile versions 6 and 7, the copy/paste support ignores all text formatting, keeping only the content.
