Request for RDz Windows Client 3270 Emulator Enhancements

We'd like to see two enhancements to the 3270 emulator within the RDz Windows client.

(a) For copying / pasting text, like to see a regular drag 'n highlight instead of drawing a box around the text. Former is easier.

(b) On the full screen, SELECT ALL should be present, but it's not. COPY SHOULD be grey'ed out, but it's not. Because of this, when you copy / paste text, a subsequent paste will paste the ENTIRE SCREEN, not what should be in the paste buffer (your previously selected text).

    Hi...

    It's difficult to show what's happening in my item "b" because it happens sporadically. In short, we're just looking for some basic enhancements to the emulator within RDz that will allow COPY/PASTE functions to function like 99.999% of all other emulators on the market. That's it in a nutshell. And that includes what I mentioned in "a". I wouldn't expect this to be difficult to provide. The copy/paste functionality in the current RDz 3270 emulator is archaic and doesn't work as intended much of the time.

    Thanks...

    We do not have a select all, however you can resize the rectangle to simulate a select all. Performing a copy and subsequent paste will cause all the text in the rectangle to be pasted. Please provide more detailed steps or documentation regarding 'part B' of this RFE.
