Hi Daniel, I tried to reproduce the behavior:
> * place the cursor in the XQuery window Just to be sure: You are pointing to the (as we call it) input bar, containing the dropdown menu for the input mode and the text field, right [1]? > * hit Strg-A to mark the line so I can start with a new query And just a note: When placing the cursor in this field, previously entered should automatically be highlighted. Maybe that depends on the OS, I’m not sure. > * enter a slash to my XPath, it jumps back to a random entry in the > history, and does appends my slash to that entry. This does not make sense to > me at all. That doesn’t sounds reasonable. It seems to work on my system, though, and I cannot remember something has been changed. Does it also happen with BaseX 9.7.3 or BaseX 10.0? Which OS and Java version are you using? Thanks in advance Christian [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Graphical_User_Interface#Input_Bar
