Error description

  • Environment:
    - FULL screen mode
    - Font; default as Mincho
    - indicated the Arrow in the screen by 'Ctrl + F1' key
    Problem: The Shift-IN/Shift-OUT arrow does not in-line on the
    full screen mode.

    It affects on the version 6.0.5/6.0.4/6.0.3.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • PCOMM 6.0.5 JAPANESE VERSION, CP930/939 SESSION
    Problem scenario:
    When PCOMM screen is maximized; ShiftIn symbol's vertical
    position is higher than the normal ShiftOut symbol.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Problem cause:
    Incorrect font was loaded for ShiftIn 0x89 symbol, so it was
    displayed differently in height from ShiftOut symbol.
    Problem conclusion:
    The string pointer to store ShiftIn 0x89 cannot be used in a
    conditional statement when comparing value 0x89,
    we need to copy content of the string pointer to a temporary
    variable then use the variable for comparison in
    the conditional statement to get correct font loaded.
    Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.7 Refresh Pack
