ssh X11 forwarding Problems
x11 was working until I updated to the latest version of RDM (2019.1.3.0 64-bit).
I haven't changed any settings on our servers, nor on my local XMing server.
Here are my current settings:
Enable X11 Forwarding -> True
X display location -> localhost:0.0
Protocol -> MIT-Magic-Cookie-1
X authority file for local display ->
Using the plain putty client with the same settings it works (xclock runs, no errors).
Currently RDM throws a "/usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad "add" command line" when connecting to the same server.

Hi,
Could you send me the logs with verbose on? The "Verbose" check box is in the "Advanced" tab. You'll also need to check "Enable logging" and specify a "Log path" and set "Log mode" to "Event". Connect and attempt to launch an X11 Application and post the resulting logs.

I should specify that I'm using RDM free, and I don't see any logging options.
Can you clarify where I should see the logging options at?
The logging options are in the "Advanced" tab also, 4th option below "Verbose".

Thanks.
See attached.

Hi,
I have located the problem. It might take me a while to fix the bug, I hope to have it fixed by the end of next week.

I appreciate it. In the mean-time I've switched over to using the legacy terminal.
