Hi there,
I have a jump host defined and some SSH sessions that are using this jump host. Because the SSH session is in a RDP session which is docked to RDM, the screen area available for the SSH session is limited. Undocking the SSH session would be a solution to that, but I don't get it undocked to my satisfaction.
What I've tried so far:
1. Set the display setting of the jump host to undocked
When I run the RDP session, it will be an undocked RDP session, which is great. But when I run the SSH session that is using the jump host, the RDP session is docked again.
2. Set the display setting of the SSH session to undocked
When I run the SSH session, the RDP session is docked and the SSH session is undocked within the RDP session of the jump host.
3. Set the display setting of both sessions to undocked
Same result as number 2
4. Manually running the RDP session prior to running the SSH session
When I run RDP session, is opened undocked, which is what I want. When I run the SSH session afterwards, the RDP session gets the focus and the RDM Jump agent gets connected, but RDM on the jump host itself is never executed (process does not exist). So no SSH session is started within the RDP session.
5. Manually running the RDP session and manually starting RDM within the RDP prior to running the SSH session
(Like number 4 but with one additional manual step)
When I run RDP session, is opened undocked, which is what I want. Next, I manually start RDM within the RDP window. When I run the SSH session afterwards, the results are the same as with number 4.
One thing I noticed was that this window only popped up when trying numbers 1, 2 and 3:

Hello,
We have fixed jump host not starting in undocked window, now all the scenarios should work fine. It will be available starting from version 2025.2.30.0 of RDM.
Regards,
This is odd; options 1 and 3 should work. At least, there is no reason, off the top of my head, that requires us to redock an undocked RDP session to jump.
Option 2 works, but that's not what you are trying to do.
Options 4 and 5 should also work.
I will need to investigate.

Great. Looking forward to the release of that update.
Today, version 2025.2.30.0 has been released and I can confirm that my issue is now resolved. With great amount of pleasure, I'm using option 1 as described in my initial post
