Problem: Dialogs freeze and hang application when inserting element with defaulted attvalue
Using Task Explorer to kill app.
Resources: Arbortext Editor/Styler Version 5.3 Platform: Windows7 localhost
DTD/Schema: MIL-DTL-24784C (using IETMProduct DTD)
Observations: Can reproduce consistently on elements with attributes that have a default value such as
security (u | c | s) 'u'
from parameter entity in Common.ent
Appears that dialog gets the att values, populates the text boxes, highlights the defaulted value and freezes.
Can edit the att decl and set the value to
security CDATA #IMPLIED
and it works normally. It seems to be in the routine for autopopulating the instance and may be a set focus issue, but that is speculation.
NOTE: I've seen other instances of a dialog freezing the application but this is the case I can reproduce consistently. I am in the early phase of setting up the editing environment for the project.
