Quick Connect Not Reliable Changing Session Type

Hello,
Is it possible to do a small video?

Regards

Sure - here you go. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fnz7434025cnv1u/IMG_0779.MOV?dl=1

Hello,

I could see that when you change from RDP to VNC that the icon doesn't change. Could you just move your mouse over the RDP icon and let me know if it switches back to VNC (the one you selected)?

I was able to reproduce this visual issue, it looks like we refresh on the mouse over.

I perform my test in RDM 14.1.1 64 bit.

Best regards,

Just tried this again, and what I'm seeing now is that if I change from one type to another, the icon doesn't change until I hover over it again. I believe this is what you're describing as well.

Hi,

Thanks for this confirmation, I will be in touch with the engineering department tomorrow. I want to confirm if we refresh only with a mouse over or if we could add/force the refresh.

Best regards,

Hi,

I had a chat with the engineering department and this is an issue. We will probably add a refresh timer after switching the session type.

Best regards,

Unfortunately this problem is back. I'm on 14.1.0.0. As an aside, I'm not sure why I would need to hover over the icon to get it to change anyways - why doesn't the click event on the entry in the menu causing the QC type to change?

Hello,

The issue is solve in RDM 14.1.2 and above. Could you update to the latest version of RDM 14.1.3?

Best regards,

Just had this happen with 14.1.3.0. :(

Hello,

Are you a single user of RDM in your organization?

If yes, maybe you can try to use RDM 2019.1.17.0 and see if the problem occurs in that version or not

Best regards,

Just installed it. I'll let you know if it happens again. I'm hoping it's fixed because it's a PITA!

Sorry guys, not fixed.

Hello,

Could you post a new video demonstrating the issue with the lastest release of RDM?

Best regards,

Sorry for the delay. Here's the new video.

Hello,

I delete the dropbox link you sent us for security reason.

First, please remove this shared, if you need help please let me know I will send you a Dropbox help topic URL for that.

If we return to the issue, please use the secure link below to send us the requested file(s);

Best regards,

Thank you - I have no idea how that happened, as I copied the link to the file from the context menu. I deleted the link and just tried to reproduce the behavior and was unable to.

In any event, I uploaded the video using your service.

We received the video, we are currently investigating.

Best regards,

Hello,

I test with RDM 2019.1.41.0 and the icon change immediately. Could you try to delete the .lyt in %localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager

Best regards,

I have uninstalled RDM, deleted the %localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager directory completely and then reinstalled and continue to have this issue.

Could you test our latestbeta version 2019.2.8.0 as a portable installation (help topic) with an SQLite database? I think the issue is not what we fixe but something in the database.

Regards,

I did that and had the same issue. I can't say for certain as it doesn't happen every time, but it seems to happen after I've either left RDM running for several days or have resumed from hibernation and it was running.

Are you still able to reproduce it on demand? We could do a remote session to look at it.

Regards,

I've never been able to reproduce it on demand. It just happens from time to time.

Hello,

Which version of RDM are you running? RDM 2019.2.16.0 should be good for your needs.

You can download this version here

If the problem still occurs, we would need the exact steps to reproduce so that we can replicate it internally.

Best regards,

I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but please review the thread. You'll see that I'm running the beta as requested above, and as I indicated in my last post I cannot reproduce it on demand, it just happens on its own.

Can you guys put together a build that has detailed logging enabled for click/selection changed events for the QC menus? Perhaps that will provide some helpful information.

Hello,

I would need to verify if some logging can be added to the Quick Connect toolbar with our engineering department.
If at a certain point you can provide us the steps to reproduce, feel free to provide them to us.

Best regards,

The issue happened again today and I was able to make another video that I uploaded to your sharefile.

Hello,

Thanks for the video.
A ticket has been opened to our engineering department. The ticket number is RDMW-4063.

Best regards,

Hello,


We've made some adjustments to try and ensure the issue doesn't replicate. Unfortunately we haven't been able to replicate this locally. If the issue only happens when RDM remains launched for weeks at a time, it's likely there's not much we can do beyond advising that you restart the application every so often. Alternatively, if you haven't tested it yet, you could try modifying the text inside the field when the issue happens.

Hopefully the latest changes will fix your problems, these should be part of the 2020.1 (upcoming major patch).


Regards,

Still having this issue, and have narrowed it down to it not working when sessions are open.Once I close any open sessions it will switch.
