15.6 oddities

[Sean Porterfield <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bear with me here - I don't know what is a tn5250 issue and what is
because I installed Red Hat 6.1 instead of 5.1 that I've been using.

This all relates to running in an xterm; I haven't tested anything on
the console.

Any time I press a key, the 5250 in the lower left-hand corner becomes
250 (obviously this is trivial, but it seems strange.)  Hmm, now it
isn't doing it.  I think it has something to do with the xterm size.

When my screen changes (a break message appears, then I delete it, for
example) the cursor moves.  I was on the WRKQRY screen typing a query
name, after the message popped up and was deleted, my cursor was on the
select field instead of in the name field where it had been.

Does the window change size at all when switching to 27x132?  Mine
won't.  I can resize it manually than update the screen.  It also
doesn't resize back to 80 columns.  The text looks fine, just isn't the
right size window.

I just had someone send me a message when I was typing something, and
part of what I typed showed in the middle of the message.  On Client
Access, it would give an error that I couldn't type in that location and
clear the buffer.  I don't know what the solution is, but it's odd to
have random/wrong characters displayed in a message (SNDMSG)

Let me know which parts of my message don't make sense (all of it?) and
I'll try to be more clear.    I shouldn't say this (knock on wood) but
15.6 hasn't crashed for me yet!
