Error description

  • zUnit preferences edit behavior does not follow  Windows
    convention
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ZUnit preference page fields  (listed below) do not allow
    keyinputs that cause an invalid value. Those key inputs are
    ignored.
    - ZUnit > Playback file > High-level qualifier
    - ZUnit > Playback file > Primary quantity
    - ZUnit > Playback file > Secondary quantity
    - ZUnit > CICS Recording Service > Connection timeout (ms)
    - ZUnit > CICS Recording Service > Read timeout (ms)
    

Problem conclusion

  • Instead of ignoring key inputs, make the preference page invalid
     state when there is an input that causes invalid value.
    For example, when user inputs DELETE at the beginning of  ZUnit
    > Playback file > Primary quantity which has the value "10", the
    value becomes "0" and it is invalid. In this case, the
    preference page shows an error message "The value entered is
    invalid, please ensure the value is a positive integer." and
    disables both "Apply" and "Apply and close" buttons. Until the
    error is fixed user cannot apply the value or switch to the
    other pages.
