Undock session resolution set to work area screen

Hello,

In the properties of your RDP session, in the Display tab, could try to select Smart Reconnect in the screen sizing mode field to see if that help


Best regards,

Thanks Jeff. I've tried that in the past and always found it to be buggy and impacts performance. Tried it just now and looks to be OK.

Previously, I was using Smart Sizing. Is there any major difference between the 2?

Hello,

Smart Sizing will stretch the remote display to fit in the tab.

Smart reconnect will reconnect the session when the window size changes.

This is the difference between the 2 options.

Best regards,

Hi Jeff,

The solution you've suggested works when you undock an embedded session. However, as mentioned previously, I've been experiencing this weird bug with Smart Reconnect since several versions ago and looks like it is still here in the latest version.

Basically, let's say you have a bunch of embedded sessions. In my case, I have 2 rows of tabs:





If you open more entries, it'll create a 3rd row, and a 4th row, and so on. So whenever you open or close a session, a new tab row either gets created or removed. When the tab row gets created or removed, it affects the session's work area screen resolution. If those sessions use smart reconnect, then they will constantly refresh themselves whenever the screen area changes.


The problem is that when they refresh, you'll get a blackscreen for about 2~3 seconds and they only refresh when you click on the session entry. They do not refresh automatically in the background. Is it possible to add a "smart reconnect" option when a screen is undocked?

Hello Ricky,

Not sure to understand what you mean by is it possible to add a smart reconnect option when a screen is undocked?
Could you elaborate please?

Best regards,

It's pretty much what it sounds like...

When a screen is undocked, fill the window to the entire screen. When it is docked (embedded), use smart sizing instead.

As per my previous post, when you have too many sessions, a new tab row is created. This then forces all the sessions to refresh, as they need to fit the screen to the new resolution. I don't want the smart reconnect refresh to apply to embedded sessions, I only want it to be applied to an undocked session.

Hello,

Not applying the smart reconnect to embedded mode is not possible.

What I can propose, is to the put all your opened RDP sessions on the same line instead of having 3-4 rows of opened sessions.
If you want to give it a try, go in File -> Options -> User Interface and enable the Use tab strip overflow option.

Best regards,

That will just make it harder for me to locate 20+ sessions. Sure, I can view the navigation tree pane in the left, but I prefer viewing the tabs directly in the rows in addition to using the navigation pane.

All I'm requesting is when a session gets undocked, re-adjust the resolution or "Reconnect" automatically, so that it will fit the screen to the new resolution.

Hello Ricky,
It's an interesting idea. I think we could add this as an option.

Regards

Thanks David.

My main point is, when you undock a session to a monitor, you'd obviously want the session to maximize its screen resolution to fit the entire monitor.

Hi Team,

Any chance we can have a look at this for the next beta release?

Hi team,


Any update on this one? Has been 4 months...

This is still an opened issue.

Hello,

We're augmenting the priority on this ticket. We'll let you know once we have something done.

Hello,

As of version 2019.2.21, you will have the option to force a reconnect when undocking an RDP session.

You will find this option in File -> Options -> Types -> RDP : "Force reconnect when undocking".
