Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for adjusting a horizontal orientation of a graphic. The solution can include a step of identifying a graphic object having a first horizontal orientation, which is to be changed to an opposite horizontal orientation. A determination as to whether the graphic object has an odd number of pixels along an x-axis can be made. When determination results are positive only, a pixel shift can be applied to the graphic object. A matrix transform can be applied to the software object regardless of the determination results. The software object can be visually presented upon a display after the applying step.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for controlling the operation of mnemonics so that mnemonics that are not in the user's notion of the active context (i.e., mnemonics that are not in the active pane in which the user is currently working) are blocked from operation. When an attempt is made to invoke a mnemonic, a determination is made as to whether or not the requested mnemonic is located within an inactive pane in the GUI. If the requested mnemonic is within an inactive pane, then the mnemonic request is blocked. If the requested mnemonic is somewhere other than in an inactive pane, then the attempt to invoke the mnemonic is allowed to succeed. The above-described control operations “follow” the active pane, so that if a user switches the active pane, these control functions operate in the newly-designated active pane.
