I am copying below a previous message that seems to solve this problem
w/o a full reinstall of the old ver. ( if that's your only problem) -
I am using Helios and it's fine.

Until then, go to the XML/XML Files/Editor preference page and turn
off the "Use inferred grammar..." setting. It should only affect
content assist and possibly some of the Outline view and Design page's
context menu actions. Or refer to a DTD or XML Schema in the XML
file. We'll have this corrected in Helios SR1/WTP 3.2.2.
