Title

Text Gets Truncated When Maximizing Window on Secondary Monitor

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host

Emulation Types

TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

I am using a dual-monitor setup and have configured my primary display to have a lower resolution than my secondary (extended) display. After starting up a PASSPORT session, I move the PASSPORT window from the primary display to the secondary display and maximize the window. Each time I do this, the text from the host screen shifts to the right and gets truncated. How can this issue be resolved?

Solution

Rocket Software has released a patch for PASSPORT PC to Host Version 2011-506 to correctly handle dual-monitor displays.

Download the Patch

How to Apply the Patch:

Copy all the files contained in the downloaded ZIP file to the folder where PASSPORT PC to Host is installed. The default location is:

C:\Program Files\PASSPORT\
