On some systems, upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703) causes TinyTERM to come up to a blank screen, with no font display. It apparently connects and runs normally, but no text can be seen. This can affect applications other than TinyTERM as well.
When this happens, a registry change can fix this. You can download the registry edit file here. Or if you prefer to create the file yourself, create a text document with the .reg extension; e.g., FontFix.reg. Enter the following contents:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize]
"DisableFontBootCache"=dword:00000001
Either way, save the file to the affected PC. Close all running Windows applications, then double-click the file to execute it and make the change.
Once the registry edit finishes, reboot the PC. This step is crucial; otherwise, the fix will not be permanent. After the reboot, font display in TinyTERM will return to normal.

iOS 7 introduced a number of changes. This causes TinyTERM ITX products — TinyTERM Enterprise, TinyTERM Pro, TinyTERM ITX 2, TinyTERM ITX 3270 and TinyTERM ITX 5250 — to behave differently than under prior iOS versions. In addition to cosmetic issues stemming from the look-and-feel changes in iOS 7, the following issues have been identified:
- The title bar at the top of the screen overlaps the status bar.
- The content window, emulator or browser, is 20 pixels too short.
- The top iPhone configuration color selector displays behind the title bar.
- Enabling certain Debug Settings can cause an application exception.
- Username and password popups don’t accept input, requiring that these items be saved in the configuration.
- The Connect button fails after changing the printer settings from within the configuration.
- Bluetooth devices such as keyboards and scanners drop characters.
- With Hide Title Bar turned on, the “show titlebar” arrow overlaps the status bar.
- Print alignment is incorrect in some jobs.
Note that development on TinyTERM for iPad v1.2.5 and TinyTERM ITX for iPhone v1.0.2 ended in June 2012. These products will not be updated for iOS 7 compatibility.

TinyTERM for Mac includes a “Close on Disconnect” option. This causes TinyTERM to close when the current session disconnects. However, it fails with SSH connections, leaving TinyTERM open but disconnected.

In TinyTERM ITX 2, Wyse50 emulation does not always clear the screen as it should. This leaves characters behind from previous screens, causing display problems with new screen display.

When creating a keyboard layout for any TinyTERM ITX product, keyChar values 281-283 no longer represent the numbers 0-2 on the numeric keypad. Instead they produce the letters v, s and t respectively. The correct keyChar values for the numeric keypad are:

keyChar value |
| keypad 0 |

When using AirPrint for a transparent print job, a full 80-character line that ends in a carriage return/line feed pair (CRLF) is counted as two lines, even though it prints as one. This throws off the page length counter, causing the print job to feed a new page before it’s needed.

TinyTERM ITX 2 and TinyTERM Pro for iOS both convert all Ctrl-J characters (ASCII 10) sent from the on-screen keyboard to Ctrl-M (ASCII 13) before sending them to the host. This change was made deliberately for customers who prefer the standard iPad keyboard. However, there is no way to revert this behavior if the ^J character is needed.

In TinyTERM Pro for iPhone, use the keyboard scan key to scan a bar code in landscape mode. On returning to TinyTERM Pro, the text size is at maximum. This happens with any other function that resets the keyboard and display also.

No TinyTERM ITX product currently uses Siri for text dictation. Siri is very good at interpreting natural language. However, a typical shell prompt does not accept standard text. Adding Siri support to TinyTERM will require the ability to parse commands along these lines:
ls -lR | grep .obj | more
