Your analysis is correct. > Anyway, it looks like a bug to me. An XXE bug? A Java[tm] bug? Not easy to fix this one... A simple and clean workaround is to use: --- <charTyped char="r"/> --- instead of: --- <keyPressed code="R"/> --- ======================== PS: You should remove: --- <command name="prompt" parameter='XREF "Enter xref ID:"'/> --- in order to give a try to: --- <command name="putAttribute" parameter="linkend"/> ---
