Closing one tab should not focus to Dashboard

I'm using RDM primarily with multiple RDP sessions open.

If I go to one tab, click 'sign off' under Windows and change the tab to an other RDP session the tab changes automatically to Dashboard when the sign out operation is finished.

There should be a way to stay on the current RDP session instead of changing to the dashboard tab.

Kind Regards

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us on that matter!

Would it be possible for you to go under File -> options -> User Interface -> Dashboard, uncheck "Auto focus dashboard" and see if this behavior persists?

Best regards,

I have also struggled with this problem for awhile. I have the options set as above and the problem persists. This behavior has changed over time. The requested behavior was fixed once or twice, but was "broken" several major versions ago.

Here's a forum topic regarding this changing focus to the first tab after logout: https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/26580/active-tab-after-closing-a-session

I would also like to see it fixed again. Maybe the referenced post will be able to "jog" the memory as to the cause and ultimate fix.

Thanks!

I tried unchecking "Auto focus dashboard" but unfortunately it didn't change anything.

Hello,

Thank you both for your quick replies!

That being said, would it be possible for you to install RDM as a portable version and see if this issue persists? This test will allow us to see if this behavior could be caused by the current configuration of your RDM instance.

To do so, you will need to download the .zip file below, extract its content in a newly created folder, run the executable and enter your current serial:

In the meantime, I will go through our options and see what might cause this kind of behavior.
