First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to report this problem so accurately. I cannot reproduce the behavior you describe, which, in theory, is impossible by design: commands such as Copy As Reference/Paste cannot make a difference between the tree and styled views. Note that I've not tested this * On Mac OS X (but I'll do that in the next few days). * Pasting in XXE v3.5.1 a reference copied from XXE v3.6.0 (or vice-versa). That is, pasting references between two different versions of XXE. In my opinion, doing so may not work.
