Environment
Reflection Desktop (including Pro, for X, for IBM, or for UNIX and OpenVMS) 16.0 and higher
Situation
In the EXTRA! X-treme 9.x software, the Productivity Features that had been opened and relocated in a Host session would save and maintain their last size and position when the session was closed and re-opened.
In Reflection Desktop, the productivity panes for features like Recent Typing, Scratch Pad, and Screen History do not appear when a Host session is opened and do not get restored to their last location when a Host session is closed and re-opened. When the feature panes are displayed after the Host session is re-opened, they always appear on the right side of the Host session (EXTRA! opens the panes on the left by default) and previous locations are not remembered.
