IC75560: PCOM: 3D HOTSPOT SHIFTS ON MAXIMIZED 5250 DISPLAY SESSION

Personal Communications 5.9.8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Personal Communication v6.0.2 (20101224J)
  
  Monitor: ThinkVision L1711p
  Windows7 Professional
  Screen resolution: 1600*900
  Screen size of display session: 27*132
  .
  The customer has a problem about 3D hotspot function on 5250
  display session. When they set window size to max, hotspot
  button slides a little.
  I can recreate this issue on PCOM6.0.1 on Windows7. It seems
  that this issue happens only on Windows7.
  Also this issue happens only with DBCS host codepage. (not 037)
  I can reproduce on the system screen which i5 provides. This
  issue seems to be not dependent on a customer's 5250
  application.

  ****************************************************************
  The user has PCOMM 6.0.2 on Windows 7 with screen resolution
  set to 1600x900 and enabled 3D Hotspot buttons. When the session
  windows is maximized, the 3D Hotspot buttons are shifted to left
  slightly. The button shift is caused by the character width of
  screen text which has added extra points to fit higher screen
  resolution (greater than 1280) when maximized. The extra points
  values were not added to 3D button text, so it makes the 3D
  button text shift.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSWS.EXE has been changed to add extra points for 3D button
  text to fit higher screen resolution settings.
  
  Fix scheduled for PCOM 5.9.8 Refresh Pack
