Upgraded to 8.3.3.0, lost smart-sizing for all
I was using 8.1.something for some time and decided to upgrade to 8.3.3.0 to determine if it improved certain experiences.
Unfortunately after upgrading, all of my RDP sessions are now 1:1 pixel so I can't read anything on my high resolution display. Previously the embedded tabs would smart size the experience to a readable size.
Is there any way to restore that? This expanded view is the primary reason I'm using this software and I regret updating as it's really affected my ability to work remotely on various systems. I can't seem to force it to go back to expanded size.
Thank you!

Disregard, somehow un-configuring all my remote connections and re-configuring them with the same settings restored the configuration. Very weird since they had the settings when it wasn't working as it does now, when it is working.
Hi,
I have verified and nothing has changed. This is really strange.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with Microsoft's smart-sizing implementation and it's unpredictable behaviour.
All my remote sessions are 'upsized' to a set amount that's equal amongst all my remote configurations, but how is that value decided? (I don't really expect you to answer as I have a feeling that's a Microsoft thing). Heck, I'd like it just a little bigger if I knew how to do that but I don't think it's possible...
The primary reason I started using Remote Desktop Manager was because it was the only application that consistently upsized all my sessions in a way I couldn't get with standard mstsc.exe or competitive applications so when all my connections were like normal 1:1 pixels, I freaked out!
We are working with the FreeRDP team for our MacOSX version, we might integrate (optionnally) FreeRDP as a replacement. Perhaps this will help or at least we will be able to debug the code
