Hotfix Mx180010
1. The Rumba light pen lost its position after reconnecting to a disconnected
session.
2. Certain actions that should have produced graphical feedback would not
update the client until another action caused a graphics update. This problem
was reproduced by clicking certain Microsoft Excel check boxes.
3. Users were unable to correctly point and select with their pointing device in an
ICA session. If a program redefined a mouse pointer to the maximum size (32
x 32 pixels) and placed the hot spot on the lower and/or right border, the
clipping was incorrect. All coordinates that were placed on the lower and/or
right border were set to 0. Our region is 32x32 pixels containing the mouse
pointer sprite. If the hot spot was on the border or outside the range of 0-31, it
was clipped incorrectly by performing a logical AND with 31 (5 bits field).
This issue was reproducible using SAP Front End Server for Windows NT
Version 3.1G Beta Release Build 483.
4. From ICA connections, text in Microsoft Outlook was corrupted. Scrolling
through the message cleared the problem.
To enable the Outlook fix, run the following command in a command window
at each server on which you want to have the Outlook fix functionality:
Keysync ICAThinwireFlags /Enable:4
If you want to disable Outlook functionality, run the following command in a
command window at each server on which you want to disable the Outlook
functionality:
Keysync ICAThinwireFlags /Disable:4
NOTE: The server must be rebooted for either change to take effect.
5. After applying Hotfix Mx180006, Visio Professional 5 did not work properly.
6. This hotfix contains the code for a more advanced caching technique, called
SuperCache. This can result in a large improvement in usability and
performance over a slow connection or for applications that tend to redisplay a
large area of the screen in response to small localized changes. Example
applications that will show a large caching improvement over a slow
connection are Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and Visual FoxPro. The
improvement in IE can be easily seen by comparing the behavior when using
the backward and forward buttons. However, because this is a radical change,
the new behavior is not enabled by default.
When SuperCache is enabled, large bitmaps are displayed in a number of
columns in left to right order, instead of top to bottom order. This is readily
apparent when running a client over a slow line. If this characteristic behavior
is not observed, the SuperCache functionality has not been activated.
