Can't hide useless toolbar
I just upgraded to 2021.1.31 Free and now there is a useless toolbar (showing CPU, RAM and Swap) on the bottom of SSH windows, blocking visibility of the command line and the down arrow of the scrollbar. With no way to turn this off, this is an epic facepalm fail.
When right clicking on the bar, the option "Hide toolbar" is offered but clicking on it doesn't hide it at all.
When searching the Options and the word "toolbar", only three results come up that neither disable that useless toolbar.
How do I turn off this bug?
How did this get released without being a showstopper? I mean, anyone managing SSH windows will immediately notice this bug. This reflects poorly on your QA.
I experience bugs in many software I use, but I get annoyed the most with the frequent ones in RDM. I used to only upgrade after experiencing some issue, but now I don't know anymore. Today, I upgraded because when I'd enter in a password in a saved SSH session, it would act like it saved it, but didn't actually change it. So I had to upgrade or else I just couldn't save the password (In hindsight, I could have likely just created a new session entry). Something I also have no idea how it got past even the most basic QA checking. It's like someone at RDM bought a book on Agile and drank the kool-aid where a developer just releases code to the public without review or testing.

While I'm at it, how do I disable the RDM icon from going grey from blue when its not in focus? I hate that change, that makes no sense, IMO.
Edit: Found the setting, its called "Remote Monitoring" and was enabled by default so the session inherited it. There was an option "show toolbar", but that didn't do anything. I was able to get disabled by changing "Enable remote monitoring" to "No".
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We will look into it. In the meantime, could you post a print screen of the RDM icon changing from grey to blue? I suspect that a default behavior from the third party we use.

Thanks for help to remove the bar "CPU, RAM and Swap" by unchecking "Remote Monitoring".
Hopefully, this bug will be fixed in next release.

Some additional information about this BUG side effects.
Since the default behavior for the new parameter "Enable remote monitoring" (in General>Terminal>Advanced) is 'Yes' for any existing 'SSH Shell' sessions type, two annoying things will happen:
for Cisco devices it will crash, because there are no way the client to establish monitoring channel to the IOS/IOS-XE/IOS-XR or NXOS
for Linux host, the additional status bar, added on the bottom, will overlap the last terminal window line (most likely incorrect sizing)
IMHO, even when the BUG is corrected, the default value for that setting should be 'No'

David,
Are you saying you don't experience this or you simply haven't tried? I'm not sure what value screenshots showing the taskbar blue or grey provides beyond my text description.
