Title

Replace Cut Text With Nulls or Spaces

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host, PASSPORT Web to Host

Issue

Currently, when I cut a string of text from a host screen, the text to the right of the cursor is shifted to the left. However, I would like to cut the text and have the text to the right remain in its current position. Is there a way to configure PASSPORT to do this?
