Normally in RDM you can drag/drop the tabs for the various servers you are connected too while connected to them, to reorder them. As of "2026.3.10.0" that no longer seems to work. Sometimes it acts like it's going to let you, but when you let go after dragging, it just goes back to where it was. The tabs aren't pinned. I've used RDM daily for many years now, this is the first time I've run into this. Windows 11. No available updates for Windows or RDM.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

We are aware of this issue with reordering tabs and our development team is working on a fix.

We can reproduce it on our side, but only after dragging tabs around many times.
Once it breaks, tabs can no longer be moved until we close all tabs and restart Remote Desktop Manager.

To help with the investigation, could you tell us if this matches what you see?

  • Does reordering work at first after you start Remote Desktop Manager, then stop working after a while?
  • Or can you not move tabs at all, right from the start?
  • Does closing all tabs and restarting Remote Desktop Manager make it work again for a while?


If something different happens on your side, please describe it and we will pass it on to the team.

Best regards,

Alexis Beauparlant

I have the issue and from what I can tell it breaks very shortly after opening it up. If i remove the tab from the group and then slot it back in.. I can place it at the first position but unable to move them around

  • I hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it, as I tend to open RDM and then just leave it running for days until my PC needs restarting. But yes, it does seem like it works when is first opened, and stops working later after regular usage.
  • No, it does seem to work from a fresh open.
  • Yes, closing and restarting RDM seems to make it work for a while, EXCEPT
  • I now also noticed that if I close RDM while I have sessions open, so that the next time I open RDM it asks if I want to re-connect to my previous sessions, that this ALSO doesn't work after, despite it being a new launch of RDM. It seems something in the session itself is what's breaking, since reconnecting to a previous session like this also seems to exhibit this same behavior. Only opening new sessions from a new launch, seems to work consistently, before it breaks after usage.
  • It doesn't seem like it takes much usage before it breaks. I had this stop working on me after connecting to only 3 servers and only after having it running for like an hour. Which is why I thought it was broken fundamentally.

HTH!
