This bug exists since year 2000 (XXE Milestone 1). You are the first person to notice it/have problems with it. (Probably because the workaround is so easy.) > BTW, don't you plan to create a public bug tracker? I don't know, that > may could help your work as well. For now, we never felt the need to use a bug tracker. We currently have no open bugs[*] beside the one you were kind enough to report. Thank you for that. We really appreciate your feedback. --- [*] We have many annoying behaviors, limitations, etc, (see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/wish_list.html ) but no *bugs* per se.
