Hi Team,

When I click on a tab group, RDM focuses on the first tab instead of last opened or last used. Is it possible to configure RDM to focus on the last opened or last used tab (i vote for last used tab)?

I am using RDM for a while and I think it was working before. I am currently using 2025.1.30.0 64-bit

Thankyou,
Rohith.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Devolutions Support.

I understand the issue. Have you already tried unchecking both "Autofocus tab on item select" and "Auto select item on tab focus" under File > Settings > User Interface > Tree View?

With these options disabled, the focus should no longer switch automatically.

Best regards,

Hello,

I tried doing that. But still every time i switch between tab groups, it focuses on first tab.

We do not have such a setting. I will transfer this topic to the feature request section, and you will then be able to vote for this feature.

Our feature request forum allows our community to submit/share ideas with our development, service desk, and management teams. It’s also an opportunity for our community to demonstrate an interest in your idea. We use this interest to prioritize the features we implement.

Hi,

I am pretty sure this was working before. I am using the tab group features (a lot!!) for the last 2 years and never faced this. Every time I switch to a new tab group, it takes me to a random tab and I have to switch to the tab which I was working before. It is really frustrating!!.

This is definitely a regression or some setting which got changed in the recent upgrades.

Thankyou.

Hello @rohithbalusu,

You're right—I compared the two versions, and previously, the focus on the tab group did remember which tab had focus when the group was selected. Nice catch! I’ll submit a regression ticket internally for the developers to investigate.

Thank you for the report.
Best regards,

Thank You. Hope it will be a quick fix.

Is there a way to downgrade to previous working version?

Hi again,

I'm not sure if It's the standard way to downgrade officially with our support team, but I'll give you mine as I do it often this way as a Quality assurance tester.

Simply uninstall RDM and re-install the following working version, https://cdn.devolutions.net/download/Setup.RemoteDesktopManager.2024.3.31.0.exe

Your configuration should stay the same. You shouldn't notice a difference.

We'll give you news when the fix will be available.

Hello,

We've applied a fix on how the tab group feature works. It should remember the last selected tab.You can expect this with the next 2025.1.38
