Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users with screen resolution greater     *
    *                 than 1280x...                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User starts a session which has         *
    *                      TextFitMaxWindow=N set in the profile   *
    *                      then maximized the Window and close it. *
    *                      Restart the same session, the screen    *
    *                      text will shift to the left.            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The screen text is shifted to the left due to LastExitView
    being reprocessed when the screen is maximized. This happens
    on Japanese display sessions using TextFixMaxWindow=N keyword
    or non-Japanese display sessions that do not use the keyword
    but only if the resolution is greater than 1280xn.
    

Problem conclusion

  • PCSWS.EXE has been changed to not reprocess LastExitView when
    the display session Window is maximized.
    
    Fix scheduled for PCOM 5.9.8 Manufacturing Refresh
