My main frustration regarding your product is:

This is true, unfortunately for us.
Having said this, I don't
think there is a way to make this better and still maintain the XML
concept. That is, one is doing more than editing a document, one is
capturing the "meaning" behind the document. So it's no surprising
that it's it's more work than just "typing the text" Of all the
products I evaluated your's was by far the best in this regard. So this
is not a criticism.
Thank you for the compliments. We plan to enhance our toolbar (i.e. the
DocBook toolbar) to slightly improve the situation.
b) You marketing program. I think your product should be MUCH more
widely used. You've invested huge efforts in product, tutorials, videos
etc. etc. which are mostly effective in helping with a) above. I would
like to see a version of this product in the Apple App store. How about
selling a personal license with a one year expiration date for $29.00 ?
Naturally this "teaser" would be stripped down and addons would be extra
- PDF, Math, addon's etc. which many users would eventually be willing
to pay for. Just my two cents (US).
The idea of a "normal" person paying any amount of money larger than
$4.99 for any kind of software is for us, hard to believe. That's why
all our products target companies and not persons. Of course, we may be
wrong.

Here is what I got
<ul style="margin-top: 6; margin-bottom: 6;">
<li>Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_65</li>
<li>Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.65-b04-468</li>
<li>Mac OS X 10.11.1 x86_64</li>
<li>apple.awt.CToolkit</li>
Bad news. I cannot reproduce the issue on El Capitan using exactly the
same Java runtime as you.
I did my tests on a MacBook Pro Retina. In the next few days, I'll also
test that on a non-Retina Mac.
Note that there is no way our 100% Java code could cause the issue you
have reported:
---
When I edit text in the wysiwyg view, the characters are corrupted until
I resize the window at which point they are redrawn correctly. It's
exceedingly annoying.
---
It's almost certainly a Java bug for which we need to find a workaround.
I would suggest to uninstall your Apple Java 1.6.0_65 runtime[*] and try
to use the private Oracle Java 1.8.0_66 included in our .dmg distribution.
Uninstalling the Apple Java 1.6.0_65 runtime is as simple as executing:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0*.jdk
in a Terminal.
You may then want to re-install Apple Java 1.6.0_65 runtime after
downloading it from:
Download Java for OS X 2015-001
https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

[*] If you do not want to uninstall the Apple Java 1.6.0_65 runtime and
are a Mac expert, it's always possible to *globally* set environment
variable XXE_USE_PRIVATE_JRE:
launchctl setenv XXE_USE_PRIVATE_JRE 1
