Error description
After implementing the HOD 11.0.1-B20100315 we lost the highlighting of a URL in a protected field of a 3270 emulator session. In the emulator under the Menu bar navigation of Edit => Preferences => HotSpots... we see that the box for "Display URLs as hotspots" is checked along with "Underline URLs" and "Don't show URLs in unprotected fields". The client was created in the Deployment Wizard as a "Configuration server-based model". While in the emulator we can see that the URL is underlined when displayed as a protected field. When we move the PC cursor over the URL the cursor icon does not turn into a finger, nor does the URL it is resting on appear highlighted. When we left click at that point a browser is launched. This has led to confusion because it would initially appear that the function isn't working again. This works the same when we make the URL a 3-D button. The 3-D button is displayed but the cursor does not change images nor is it highlighted but it does launch a browser. The same PC can run HOD 10.0.6-B20090520 and everything works as we expect. It is running JRE 1.6.0_13.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Host On-Demand display session users * * with Hotspots enabled * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the mouse is moved over a URL * * hotspot, the mouse pointer does not * * change to a hand like it does in HOD * * V10. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a user moves the mouse pointer over a URL hotspot, previously in HOD 10, 1) The cursor changed to a hand (for both 3D and underline URLs) 2) In the case of underline URLs, the underline would be highlighted (thick line) When the URL is clicked on or the mouse is moved away from the hotspot, 1) The hand would change to a mouse pointer 2) In the case of underline URLs, highlighting would become as it was before (thin line). This feature was removed in HOD version 11.
Problem conclusion
ScreenText.java has been changed to put the logic in sync with HOD v10 for URL hotspots and for the new HOD v11 hotspot features (Number and Macro hotspots). Fix scheduled for HOD 11.0.3 Manufacturing Refresh
