Error description

• In Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.1.2, when
  clicking between 2 characters, the cursor is placed before the
  character on the left side of the click position rather than
  between the 2 characters.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1) For example with word "MOVE", click between O and V
  2) Expected result is to have the cursor placed between O and V
  but result is that
  cursor is placed before O
  

Local fix

• Either click on letter V rather than between O and V or click
  very close to the left of V.
  

Problem summary

• In Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.1.2, when
  clicking between 2 characters, the cursor is placed before the
  character on the left side of the click position rather than
  between the 2 characters.
  

Problem conclusion

• LPEX was changed so that when in insert mode, a bounding box
  making up half of each adjacent character is used to determine
  where to position the cursor after a click, that is, in between
  the two characters. In insert mode, the bounding box of each
  character is used instead, as in the existing functionality -
  clicking anywhere in a characters bounding box will cause the
  cursor to be positioned at the start of that character.
