RE: Client Access problem with service pack SF45545

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of our programmers just loaded SF45545 yesterday and complained
about this behaviour to me this morning.  I've reported it to IBM - will
update when I have news.

        Subject:        Client Access problem with service pack SF45545

        I've figured out the problem that I am having with SEU and
Client
        access.

        Update an existing source member (option 2).  Insert a line with
I, type
        in some code, then before pressing enter, press F10 to go to
top.  It
        doesn't do that.  F10 never works.  That's the least of my
problems,
        though.

        OK, Press F9.  That shows a message that "There are no commands
to
        retrieve".  That's right, but in the past, the cursor still went
to the
        command line at the top.  That's now a feature, it probably used
to be a
        bug.  That's still not the worst problem.

        Press F5 to start over.  You will be at command line.  Enter a
valid
        command, T or B or F, whatever.  OK, now there are commands in
memory.

        Insert your line again using I.  Before pressing enter, press
F9.
        Cursor goes to command line.  Clear the command and press enter.
The
        line that you just inserted is gone!  Any commands that you had
on line
        numbers like copy or move also disappear.  Even if you don't
clear the
        command, they changes will disappear.  I used to insert, change,
        whatever, or put CC's or MM's next to lines, press F9 to go to
top, then
        enter F to find my place to copy to.

        It's like F9 is now CA09, not CF09.

        I use F9 a lot to get back to command line.  I like it better
than F10
        because I know that F9 brings me to the top, not to source or
top
        depending on where I am.

        Anyone else able to duplicate this?
