There is a problem with this file which makes it technically invlalid even though the game will load it ok. It prevents the UIBuilder from properly parsing the file.I will try to explain it as best I can but its kinda hard. If needed I can provide screenshots to show.If you open up any validly formatted XML file in NOTEPAD (notepad is the only default windows app that parses these UTF8 files properly) you will see at the top the line:[?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?](only with proper <> brackets instead of []. I had to change them in order for the post to be valid)Followed by a small little box looking character which can't be rendered to a character in the current charset. Followed by the page opening element. That 'box' MUST be present for proper parsing of the XML file in the UIBuilder. Without it it either doesn't load the UI, crashes, or even causes corrupt UIs by allowing one page to bleed into another.The latest hotkey xml file is missing this box, most likely because someone edited it in something other than notepad then resaved it :pThis is the SOE Default XML file i'm talking about here so it isn't a cusotm UI problem. Its a default UI problem <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
