PM77054: DOUBLE-BYTE CHARACTERS ARE MISSED DURING PLAYBACL

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• With RFT 8.2.x, Some of the double-byte characters are missed
  during playback.
  
  However a workaround exists by,
  Increase the value for 'Delay before key down' from default
  0.001 to 0.1
  ('Delay before key down' is in Window ? preferences ? playback ?
  Delays page)

  Some double-byte characters are missed during playback.
  

Problem conclusion

• for playback of double-byte characters, we let the IME
  process the key event. There is no return from the IME and
  hence we do not wait for a response. Since we are dependent
  on the IME for a successful response and this is not
  possible, nothing can be done from the RFT end to ensure
  that the double-byte character is played back in the default
  time. In the case where RFT starts to process the next event
  and if IME has not processed the event for the double-byte
  character, the double-byte character is lost.
