This certainly makes XMLmind XML Editor uncomfortable to use in some cases, but you cannot call these bugs (bug=error in logic). Such problems are listed in our User's Wish List http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/wish_list.html in the "Annoying Behaviors" section. > * Can't cut (CTRL+X) text that contains an xinclude.

Hard to fix (anything related to the text selection is hard to fix or improve). We will do our best to improve this. But don't hold your breath: I cannot give you my word that we'll succeed. > * Can't use DocBook menu table operations.
