Error description

• Customer tried to restore the window size using the saved view
  file. However, the window size is not restored though the screen
  position is restored when customer called the view file.
  Then if customer called the same view file twice, the window
  size is restored correctly.

  Why isn't the screen size restored the first time?

  Recreate Steps:
   1. Start Session.
   2. Click 'Save As'. then Save .WS file.
   3. Click 'View' -> 'Save/Delete View'.
      then Save the view( View name: test).
   4. Resize the window size of session to large or small with
      mouse.
   5. Click 'File' -> 'Save'.
   6. Close Session.
   7. Start Session. In this time the window size of session is
      size  that saved in step 4.
   8. Click 'View' -> 'Select View' -> test.
   9. Session window is restored into saved position in the view
      name:test. But window size is not restored..
  10. Click  again 'View' -> 'Select View' -> test.
      In this time, window size is restored correctly.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A saved VIEW must be run two times to   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  On using a saved VIEW the first time, the position of the
  emulator window sets properly but the size of the window is
  not restored as per the view. On running the view a second
  time, the size and position of the emulator windows is set
  properly.
  

Problem conclusion

• During the recalculation of the emulator window, only its
  saved size is restored which is not correct for the VIEW
  function.
  PCSWS.EXE has been changed to restore both the window size
  and position when running a saved VIEW.
