SSH misbehaviour

avatar

Hello,

I updated to the newest community version of RemoteDesktopManager and having some troubles:

- Using "Insert" key inside the shell (SSH) is no longer working. I used it to switch to the edit mode inside the editor "vim".
- Usinig scroll buttons no longer work (e.g. to scroll through logs).
- Terminal is flickering really oftern.
- Paste using right mouse button is working after left clicking inside the shell multiple times ... no idea why.

I do not know if there are more errors or if these errors are all known. But it would be great to get putty luke behaviour back again.


Thank you very much!

Additional information:
- Product: Remote Desktop Manager Free

- Version: 2019.1.3.0 64-bit
- .Net Runtim: v4.0.30319
- .Net Version 4.7.2 or higher
- At the moment no loaded addons

Hi Stefan,

In RDM 2019.X we change the SSH integration, from putty base to our own system. We have plenty control of the new engine and we now support many private key as ECDSA, PEM, PPK and much more.

Other customers already open tickets for "insert" key, scroll button and pasting issues. We are currently working on them and they should be fix soon.

That being said, I'm not sure to understand the terminal flickering issue. Is there a way to send us a screen recording of the issue?

As a workaround Under File > Options > Types > Terminal > Advanced there's an option "Use legacy terminal" which restore back Putty as the main engine.

Best regards,

Thanks for the information how to switch back to putty - I am going to do that and test again after the next release.

I found one way to reproduce the flicker (Ubuntu 18.04):
- Make sure the screen is filled with information (e.g. do some "ls -la")
- Now press multiple times "tab" or hold it.

You can see that random lines flicker.

Hi,

Thanks for theses steps, after trying to reproduce it I was able to get a little flicker. Some lines disappear and reappear for miliseconds is this what you are talking about?

To switch back to putty under File > Options > Types > Terminal > Advanced there's an option "Use legacy terminal" which restore back Putty as the main engine.
