Option for not displaying the connection bar doesn't work in 2026.3.0.5

Published 4 days ago

The option "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode" (Connection Properties -> General -> Display) doesn't seem to do anything at the moment.
I expected that unchecking it would turn the connection bar off entirely when viewing a connection in full screen, but the connection bar is showing the same way independent of what this option is set to.

The connection bar is probably quite useful depending on how someone uses remote desktops, but for me personally I really only use the close button and there are other ways to close the connection, so it's more in the way then being useful for me and it would be perfect if this option would function as it sounds like it's intended to do, so that I can disable the connection bar entirely for a connection.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for the detailed report.

Could you let us know which data source you are using in RDM, for example a local data source, Devolutions Server, or Devolutions Cloud?

Could you also tell us if this option was working as expected in a previous version of RDM Linux?

Finally, would you be able to provide us with a short recording of the behavior so our team can see exactly what you are observing?

Best regards,

Samuel Dery

Here is an attached video that shows when I change the setting that seems like it would be intended to disable/hide the connection bar entirely, and then connect and show that it's still there.

There are two settings related to the connection bar, as seen in the video. One of them toggles if the bar should be pinned or not, and that one works just fine.
The other setting, "Display the connection bar when in full screen mode", is the one that doesn't do anything and it doesn't matter if the setting for pinning the connection bar is enabled or not (I just unchecked that anyway in the video)

Prior to 2026.3, I never noticed a connection bar actually existing. When moving the mouse to the top of the screen, it would reveal a tab bar with a single tab, which could be closed to close the connection.
But no connection bar similar to what is available now.

The data source is Devolutions Cloud. Does that matter? The setting does seem to get saved, but just not applied.
