Losing focus when opening multiple RDP sessions
This isn't a huge deal but I thought I'd ask.
Let's say I select 5 machines right click them and choose open selections. We'll simply call the machines 1-5. Each machine doesn't get to the desktop at the same speed... so if 1 gets there first and I start working but then 3 gets to its desktop its steals focus and switches to that windows... same with others.
Can I open multiple rdp sessions "in the background" without them stealing focus as they come up?

Hello,
Could you please enable option Use manual activate tab in File - Options - Advanced? This should do the trick when you manually click on the tab. The others sessions that will open then should not steal the focus.

Unfortunately that did not work, each tab continues to steal focus as it opens. (I did make the change and then close out of RDM, then go back in). I am on version 14.0.6.0.
Hello,
I am sorry that you still experience the focus issue when opening multiple RDP sessions. The provided solution works for some customers and for others, it doesn't. Unfortunately, this kind of issue isn't quite easy to resolve. The ActiveX seems to steel focus every time a new RDP entry is opened and we do not have any control on that ActiveX behavior. We do not have any other solution right now. We are very sorry about that.

Is this setting still available? I can't find it.
