PM80203: Layout DXL Column truncates Object Attribute's information

Rational DOORS and DOORS Web Access Fix Pack 1 (9.5.2.1) for 9.5.2
Rational DOORS Fix Pack 2 (9.5.2.2) for 9.5.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Customer's environment there exits a Layout DXL Column which
  is quite complex, it displays specific information from specific
  Attributes based on certain conditions.
  
  However, for easier reproduction of the issue, consider a simple
  Layout DXL Column: display obj.'Object Text'
  
  In the Object Text attribute, start adding OLE's as Editable
  Information (and not icons). For example, add screen shots one
  of say your desktop screen one after another. Upto a certain
  limit the screenshots are correctly shown even in the Layout DXL
  Column. However, you would soon observe that the Layout DXL
  Column is now truncating information.
  
  I've attached a screen shot which shows that the bottom part of
  the screen shot seen in the Layout DXL Column is truncated as
  compared to the screen shot displayed in Object Text column.
  
  Business Impact:
  ===========
  This behavior of DOORS severely impacts the way Modules are
  printed to PDF as the Layout DXL columns will have incomplete
  information in them.
