Access Client Solutions 5250 session tab management

Using the ACS 5250 Emulator and opening multiple sessions across multiple servers provides a tab at the top of the window for each session. When closing the tabs until only one session remains while the application window is maximized, the window will resize when going from 2 tabs down to one. The user must then maximize the window again to return to the same view.


Use Case:

1. Within 5250 Emulator, open multiple sessions (in this case each session was to a different server) with the emulator screen maximized.
2. For each session, sign off and close the tab either with Ctrl+F4 or using the mouse.
3. When closing the final tab to leave one session remaining, the screen should remain maximized.
