Dear M. Shafie,
Forget about the above; it happens only upon document opening : if no
view has ever been selected with the mouse, then the "/" context seems
not to be initialized and the Xpath search fails. If we just click in
the view, it works as expected.
One last thing is missing to complete the picture gracefully: we would
like this search to be recorded as if we had been using the element
Search tool to allow our users to re-search using Esc-g. If there any
way to do this ?
Many thanks,
Best regards.
