We've tried this out on oXygen 14.2 and we're unable to reproduce the problem.

We can try it again perhaps with a specific stylesheet, source document, and schema.

Thanks for the advice!
I will use the forum for Saxon realted issues in the future.

I can't see any obvious reason for this behaviour. Schema validation per =

invoking the transformation?

I used an oXygen transformation scenario to invoke the transformation:

   oXygen XML Editor 14.2, build 2013030817
   Transformer: Saxon-EE 9.4.0.6
