Hussein,
Thanks for your response.
Having edited javaw.exe to java.exe as suggested, On opening xxe I
get a black background console with java.exe in the title bar, as
well as the xxe window. Nothing in the console to start with.
On first opening an .xml file, a regular warning window I always get
comes up in xxe (about external references). When I dismiss the
warning, the following come up in the console:
'selectById' unknown command
'selectById' unknown command
'selectById' unknown command
When I then type backspace or delete within a passage of text, no
further error messages appear in the console.
In case you meant a different console (I expected the grey background
one you can get with java applets), I went in to the windows 7
control panel > java > Advanced > java console > show console (hide
console was selected). Shut down & restarted xxe, but still the only
console was the black one.
I probably should have said that I'm using the xml2rfc xxe addin
v0.8.0, which was released to support xxe v5.x
http://code.google.com/p/xml2rfc-xxe/
And I'm using the latest stable release of xml2rfc: v1.36
<http://xml.resource.org/>
Would it be possible that changes to the function of BACKSPACE and
DELETE in xxe v5.5.0 have affected this addin? I would be surprised
(appalled actually), given a good software architecture shouldn't
require addins to have to be updated due to such a low level change
in their underlying platform.

I've been using XXE for some years. I've just installed the Evaluation
Edition of 5.5.0 on a different laptop (nojvm installer using the jvm

It all seems to be working fine except, when typing, the BACKSPACE key
doesn't delete text left, and the DELETE key doesn't delete text right.
Pretty basic stuff.
If I select some text (pink selection), DELETE & BACKSPACE will delete
it. The problem only arises if the cursor is just a vertical line with
nothing selected.
I notice in the release notes that "Pressing DELETE or BACKSPACE may now
be used to delete an empty text node..." Perhaps in fixing these more
esoteric uses of these keys their basic functions of deleting text
backwards and forwards have been broken?
This is unlikely, as we extensively test new releases on several platforms.
But surely someone else would have noticed this.
No. You are the first person to report this problem.
I've searched for a solution before posting, but to no avail.
I'm sorry but we cannot reproduce this problem on our laptop running
Windows 7, 64 bit.
This problem could be caused by a customization which no longer
works with v5.5.
OR
The JVM you use, 1.6.0_07, which is pretty old now, is the cause of
the problem.
OR
You are using an exotic input method (e.g. Japanese).
Please take the time to run XXE v5.5 with a console as explained in this FAQ:
"XXE seems to freeze when I do such and such action. What's going on?"

Sending us a copy of the messages printed on this console could help
us diagnose where is the problem.
