Reply To: WebHelp: Content area restricted when generating from one specific map

[Derek Read]

Best to submit this as a support case to XMetaL Support and include all the files. Let them know which version of XMetaL Author Enterprise you are running (see Help > About XMetaL Author Enterprise… for the full version number).

Alternatively (which is what XMetaL Support will end up doing anyway) do the following:
1) Open your map in Tags On view (aka: “XML View of Map”)
2) Repeat:
 a) Remove 1/2 the elements in the map (this is why Tags On is best as you can select many topicrefs at once).
 b) Generate output.
 c) If the output has the issue then the 1/2 you left in is triggering the issue. Cut that 1/2 in 1/2 and repeat. Otherwise, restore the 1/2 you cut out and then cut it in half. Note: You can restore topicref elements you removed (even after save) using Undo in Tags On view.

Once you narrow this down to a specific topic (assuming that is the trigger) you can concentrate on trying to find out what is unique about it.
Note that if you submit this to XMetaL Support they will be performing testing with an unmodified copy of the DITA OT (as installed with XMetaL Author Enterprise).
