major stability issues with vnc protocol and rdp

[Thomas]

I know my report might not be very specific but somehow I do not know any further but to claim something. Somehow remmina is very unstable in general. It very often hangs and I have to force quit the beast. As soon as the connection to a host becomes unstable or simply gets interrupted the whole remmina gets stocked and does not react any more. I understand that remmina is "only" a wrapper for a lot of remote libraries but if the libraries fail I expect that remmina can handle this. Further more I have the feeling that it got worse in the last half a year. I sent numerous crash reports already.
In short I can see following issues:

- sensitivity against network problems
- freeze when a lot of data is updated, more often in faster networks
- freeze when mouse wheel scrolling is used extensive
- black screen when opening: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/1004197

I am wondering if all this is a remmina issue or a underlying protocol isssue (VNC in my case). But as I stated above at least remmina should be able to catch this.
It is sad to have to say this, but it looks like remmina has some major problems.

Thomas, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue with the latest version of remmina in Precise, or a later version of Ubuntu?

If so, please execute the following via a terminal as it will gather necessary debugging information:
apport-collect 1155616

As well, please provide click-for-click steps to reproduce this problem, as well as the OS you were trying to remote into.

Thank you for your understanding.
