  ****************************************************************
  PCOMM 6.0 Arabic session font is shifted to left on two cases:
  1. The session starts up maximized (or full screen)
  2. When the user changes a configuration and the session
     disconnects and connects again
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSWS.EXE has been changed to not reset the
  "GSTable.uViewFlags" to include Window bestfit condition with
  maximized windows. This fix was done originally for Chinese
  only. Now it is a general fix to work with all code pages.
  
  Fix is scheduled for PCOM 6.0.3 refresh pack
