(macOS) Emulator stops responding to keyboard after opening new session/tab

  • 1.  (macOS) Emulator stops responding to keyboard after opening new session/tab

    Posted Thu May 08, 2025 10:20 AM

    I've been experiencing a problem lately where, very often, after selecting File > Run Other from a running 5250 emulator, the emulator will stop responding to keyboard events. I will not be able to type anything, even in the previously running session.

    Quitting the 5250 session and relaunching from the main "i Access Client Solutions" window doesn't resolve the problem, I need to exit the program completely and relaunch.

    Steps to reproduce (unreliable, sometime works just fine):

    • Start "i Access Client Solutions"
    • Click General > 5250 Emulator
    • From within the emulator, select the file menu then "Run Other...", and select another .hod file.
    • Keyboard no longer works.

    Anyone else experience something like this?

    Dear Carl

    Please try using Open JDK Amazon Corretto 11, 17, or 21 to see if it solves your issue or not.
