disconnected messages get in the way

If I am connected to say 10 machines with Remote Desktop manager and then disconnect from the VPN or for whatever reason get disconnected, this app will then pop up 10 separate dialog boxes saying that I'm disconnected and they will set the app icon orange on the task bar. I then have to go and close all 10 in the right order in order to get back into the application later and remove that alert status. This is cumbersome and gets in the way and it's annoying. It would be better to just have an error message pane at the bottom of the window list each of the error messages that I can scroll through and put an X over the icon on the tab for each machine or something like that instead of changing the name to put "disconnected" on the end. I guess that's a second issue, but that also gets in the way. If the length of the tabs changes, that could push tabs up into another row and that reduces the size of the window causing all my tabbed windows to now have scroll bars and that isn't usable. So, then I have to reconnect to everything to use it that way.

Hello,
I will be sure to open an improvement ticket regarding your suggestion and send it to our engineering team.
In the mean time, my suggestion would be to disable RDP Error messages, you can do this by going to File > Options > Types > Remote Desktop > Disable embedded RDP error message.
If you have any further inquiries or issues, don't hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
Best Regards

Hello,

We've added a Disconnected tab behaviour feature in File-Options-User Interface-Tab Page, with it you can customize whether or not the Disconnected text is displayed when an a session is disconnected, as well as change the image of the entry in order to display the connection status regardless of text if desired. This should be available as early as next version and we hope this will address issues you've had!

Regards,
