View source for Toggle JxBrowser mode in WFP for Mac

[[Wordfast Pro]] (WFP) uses JxBrowser technology to display its user interface. JxBrowser can run in either '''heavyweight''', or '''lightweight''' mode. Heavyweight is default and recommended.<ref>The heavyweight mode was causing crashes in earlier WFP 5.x versions with some MacOS systems (WFP 5.12 fixed the problem). That's why an option to switch to the lightweight mode was implemented in WFP for MacOS and it is still there (written as of version 6.0.0).</ref>

[[File:A-accents-MacOS.png|thumb|Entering accents in MacOS]]To toggle the JxBrowser mode in WFP, click on the '''''WF''''' icon in the top left corner of the app, and access '''''Browser Mode''''' tab. Select the mode you want and click on '''''Apply'''''. If you changed the mode, WFP will tell you the change will apply after you restart WFP. Close the dialog and restart WFP for the change to take effect.

Switching to the lightweight mode is not recommended. It hinders IME typing (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) as well as entering accented characters by pressing and holding the unaccented key in MacOS. Sometimes it might make sense to switch to the lightweight mode for debugging reasons.
