Wyse and Viewoint Emulation

SYMPTOM:
Characters appear to be shifted to the right or left incorrectly.
Cursor may be flashing at the wrong position on the screen.
Lines may be wrapping to the next line when they should not.

SOLUTION:
Hidden attributes need to be enabled or disabled.
Emulate / Video Attribute... Options


Note: If you select Wyse 50 emulation, hidden attributes is enabled. If you select Wyse 60 or 370 emulation, hidden attributes is disabled. After you make your selection, you can always change the hidden attribute setting. But if you ever change emulation types again, the hidden attribute setting will also change back to it's default.

When hidden attributes are not enabled, a space is generated on the screen each time a video attribute is processed from the host (attributes such as bold, inverse video, underline etc)
