Reset scrollback on display activity like Putty

Hi, I find very usefull the behaviour in Putty related to setting "Reset scrollback on display activity".

Let's make an example. I scroll back an ssh session text watching at older rows (the upper side of the whole session text).

With the setting "Reset scrollback on display activity" enabled (enabled by default in Putty) I just hit enter or other key from keyboard and the session window jumps to display the newer session text without bothering me to come back manually to current cursor position using mouse to scroll down.

Can you deploy this kind of feature on RDM sessions?

Thanks

Regards

Enrico

Hello,

What entry type are you using, and on what version of RDM? The SSH Shell entry type already does this by default.

I'm using ssh session and I'm working on version 14.1.3.0 64bit but this is an old issue present also on older versions.

Is there an option on RDM ssh session that maybe disabled this behaviour on my sessions and I need to change it?

Thanks

Hello,

You can find the option in your SSH entry in the terminal tab, "reset scroll on display":

The default value points to the options located in File > Options > Types > Terminal, and the default value for that should be 'true'.

When set to true, the terminal will scroll to the last line if it receives text to display. When set to false, the terminal will not scroll.

Can you try changing the value to true and see if it works?

Hi, I've changed that sessione option from Default to True but it acts the same, also opening new ssh session: it doesn't scroll when I input some new text or when the ssh session receives new text to display.

Whould you like to make a remote session to my client and check live?

Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue you are currently having. In order for me to have more information on that matter, could you please provide me the following:

1- A Recording of this behavior along with the configuration of your SSH Shell entry

2- Your RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file. Please refer to the following link in order to locate this file:

https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/howto_configurationfile.htm

These files can be sent to us using the following secure link: https://devolutions.sharefile.com/filedrop

As for the remote session, thank you for offering it to us but it is not required yet. If the information that you will provide us don't allow me to reproduce this issue, we will then be able to schedule a session.

Best regards,

James Lafleur
