Re: TN5250 Crash After Paste (Vista)

   I have a version that I combed out all the bug fixes and re-applied them
   to the original source.
   Monday I will see about recompiling and submitting the Unified Diff format
   of the changes.

   /* Fixes:
    *  Selecting text backwards (e.g. line 11 back to 10) would abort.
    *  Select & copy outside screen buffer would abort. Few ways.
    *  Placing cursor outside screen buffer would abort.
    *  WinXP screen lock would abort TN5250 (BitBlt).
    */

   Hey wait, your issue is with PASTE not COPY. That's news to me and I would
   like to address it.
   Can you tell me more about how you are doing it? A screen picture would
   probably help so I can see the nature of the paste, like field size(s),
   single or multi-line paste, etc.

     I have made many Windows platform fixes, including this one. The tough
     part is that they are becoming intertwined.

     The problem is when the user selects outside the 80x24 or 132x27 range.
     Another bug was like starting with line 0 versus line 1 of the screen
     buffer.

     I'm super busy at work, converting from rs/6000 unix based ERP to
     iSeries solution. I'll see when I can extract the fixes. Do you Brian
     have the ability to recompile if I give you source or differences? You
     want my EXE to get you by for the short term at least?

     I've added other config file options like title bar value, can restrict
     users from exiting TN5250 if not at login screen. I fixed screen
     resizing between 80 and 132 column, but my fix is the opposite of how
     unix version works. I keep window the same size and resize the fonts to
     fit.
     I fixed WinXP problem where program hoses up when screen is locked and
     user has to enter password.

       By all means, try that... enable the trace function and see if you can
       replicate it. It *might* help, though I don't know that there's
       sufficient info in the trace file to help me debug a problem like
       this.

       However, I don't have access to a Vista machine. So even if I think I
       find the solution, I'm not sure how I could tell that my solution
       worked.
