Why is there no reply to this problem yet? Since the program coders have not
, perhaps it is considered insignificant. Therefore, I would like anyone
else that has this problem to report it too. Just set up for CW and try the
Alt K window and see if you can read the characters that are to be sent or
if they are partially or fully hidden. If I am the only one with the problem
I suppose I will have no choice but to live with it but if others report it
too perhaps they will consider fixing it, or at least acknowledging my
defect report!
I made another test, using RTTY window on one of the machines I get a 2 line
window for Alt K. The other machine gets only one line, even on RTTY and
even though I uninstalled and reinstalled 10.35g. This does show the
character but it is still a defect as why would it use a 2 line window yet
when the entry gets to the end of the line it does not wrap to the next line
but rather just keeps on going as though it were one line. I think it needs
to be one line but show the entire character. Nevertheless, I could live
with this if it would work on CW.
