Bug Description

When connection established, and user working with it, suddenly remote screen stops to update, so it seems that connection hangs, user trying to interact with UI on remote desktop, but can't see any responce. But when he reconnects, he can see that state was changed (some windows moved, minimised, closed, as user wanted before, or some text typed), so it seems that remmina just been stopped to show new screen changes, but was able to send user actions to remote server and connection was still alive.
This problem seems reproducible with all Windows 7 and Windows 2008 RDP Terminal servers.
It happens when user working with terminal, but it also happens, when you minimize remmina rdp connection window for some time(about 10-20 minutes)

Seems that some changes in RDP protocol in W7/W2008 causes this. So rdp plugin should be updated.

Affected Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 for sure. May be previous distros too.

affects: remmina-plugins (Ubuntu) → remmina (Ubuntu)

I had this at last three times.
I connect from home to win7 + windows2003 server on work.

When it happens, i resize remmina window and screen refreshes ones.
The only way to "repair" this, was to reload compiz or restart the computer.

Version: Ubuntu 14.04, dual screen, ati radeon (no catalyst)

There is multiple bugs, actually. One, which is described above. And another one is when screen updates, whatever you reconnect, a so rare, like every 10-20 sec.

All this issues disappear after just closing remmina completely, and starting it again.

I can't recall situation, when it was necessary to reboot, or restart compiz.
