Browser Compatibility

Oxygen XML Web Author was developed and continuously tested on the following major Web browsers:
  • Chrome 90 and newer stable versions, running on desktop systems. [Recommended for optimal performance and user experience]
  • Chrome for Android 90 and newer stable versions, running on Android-enabled devices.
  • Mozilla Firefox 91 and newer stable versions, running on desktop systems.
  • Microsoft Edge 91 and newer stable versions, running on desktop systems.
  • macOS Safari 15 and newer stable versions, running on macOS.
  • Safari Mobile iOS 15 and newer stable versions, running on iOS devices.
Tip: If you encounter issues in any of these browsers, you should try updating the browser to the latest version as an initial troubleshooting step.
As an HTML 5 application, it is likely to work on other HTML 5 compliant browsers for various platforms.
Note: For browser versions that are released after Oxygen XML Web Author version 26.1.0, the system administrator may have to upgrade to the latest maintenance build.

Known Issues

Due to implementation particularities, Oxygen XML Web Author may exhibit minor behavioral differences:
  • On Android devices, the content completion list of proposals might display undefined elements. To prevent this from happening, go to Settings > Bandwidth Management > Reduce data usage and select OFF.
  • On Safari Mobile and Chrome for Android, there is no warning message if you close the browser page without saving the changes made in the document.
  • The Korean IME (Input Method Editor) is fully supported when running Oxygen XML Web Author on Chrome or Safari only.
  • The Chinese IME (Input Method Editor) is supported when running Oxygen XML Web Author on Chrome only, and the ime_interface option must be specified with the value of EditContext.
  • On Safari Mobile, the native Bold, Italic, and Underline actions do not work. As a workaround, use the corresponding toolbar actions.
  • On Android devices, the editing works best with Google Keyboard having the Auto-correction option deselected and the Show correction suggestions option set to Always hidden. Alternatively, you can use Google voice typing.
    Note: Using other keyboards can lead to unpredictable results. If your document gets corrupted, use the Undo button.
  • On Safari Mobile versions 6 and 7, the copy/paste support ignores all text formatting, keeping only the content.
  • On Chrome, a review comment that covers only a part of a word causes ligatures to be decomposed at the comment's boundaries.
