Strange behaviors with XMetaL 12 and SDL Tridion Docs 2018

[pmasal]

We recently upgraded to XMetaL 12 with SDL Tridion Docs 2018. Since the upgrade, we are seeing a few strange behaviors:
  * All objects that we check out from the CMS and edit with XMetaL 12 assign a “cid” attribute to every DITA element.
  * When editing DITA topics that have conref'd elements within table cells, some of the conrefs can be selected/highlighted, but others can't (the selection appears to happen, but the highlighting does not, so the user doesn't know the conref'd element is actually selected).

Has anyone seen these behaviors before? Many thanks for any help you can give. I plan to cross-post this to the SDL technical community.

I was able to remove the cid attributes by updating the SDL Tridion Docs write plugin configuration.
The issue with selecting conrefs still persists.
