Bug Description
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
2) apt-cache policy remmina
remmina:
Installed: 1.0.0-4ubuntu3
Candidate: 1.0.0-4ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 1.0.0-4ubuntu3 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
3) What is expected to happen when remoting into a Windows machine, example configuration for a scratch build of Microsoft Windows Vista Business x86 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002 with nothing installed at https:/
4) What happens instead the window resizes to a height taller then the screen is vertically, and one of the following outcomes:
+ It resizes the remoted OS correctly.
+ Shows one half a black screen vertically at the top and the next half of the remoted operating system at the bottom.
+ A black screen as per https:/
This is reported to be a regression from Oneiric to Precise. As well, it can have varying collateral effects based on the desktop environment. For example, right-clicking the window handle on the taskbar and maximizing will at least bring the display visible, but all the controls - including tabs to select different sessions - will still be missing until I close remmina and delete the preferences file from ~/.remmina/. After deleting the prefs file and restarting Remmina, things will be restored.
