Custom window size not being honored - window tiling not working in v13

Custom window size not being honored - window tiling not working in v13

avatar

Just updated to v13 to trial out and noticed two things right out of the gate:
1. the custom window sizing is no longer working as intended. The custom size I use should roughly fill my monitor, now it looks more like an 800x600 screen (someone else posted on this, but I can't find the thread).
2. Window management: cascading and tiled (veritical or horizontal) no longer work. Clicking on them just make the tab view go away.

Because a video is work 1000x(number of frames) words, I recorded my experience and put it up on youtube.

Hi,
I will verify this tomorrow when I get back to the office.

By the way, I suspect this is a side effect of the fact that removed the MDI in RDM. Were you using the Classic UI before?

I've been using Default (Ribbon) since it was introduced (v5 I think?)

Please let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks.

Hi,
Indeed it's a problem with the MDI that we have removed. I will check what I can do. I don't think I will be able to bring back the Cascade though.

Thanks for identifying the issue. Regarding the cascade, I use that feature primarily when patching servers, where I will have around 12 windows open and visible at the same time so I can monitor the progress on all of them simultaneously. Is there a workaround to monitor open RDP sessions that could be used instead of the window tile feature?

Hi,
You can download the current beta. I have fixed the Tile Horizontal and Tile Vertical. Cascade for now bring it back to the single tabbed view. I think that the tile will do what you want.
