This has been bothering me for a while now: When I first open RDM, it appears that the top item in my Favorites list is selected, so I hit Open Session because I always want that server. However, unseen in the background, it's actually got the whole Favorites folder selected then asks to confirm whether I want to open all the sessions in the folder rather than just the one that appears to be selected. Can we make it so that on a fresh open, if it appears that a single session is selected, hitting Open Session selects the top session in the Favorites list rather than the whole folder?

Ok, those settings seem to work for the few I've tested after changing to that. Thank you so much! This has been driving me crazy. Really appreciate the help.

Isn't that what this screen shot is showing?

Hello,

Sorry for the slow response, I've been away from work sick this week.

Since I last posted, I did upgrade to version 12.6.2.0, and still experienced the issue.

But for what it's worth, they have stopped opening in External full screen mode this morning after fiddling with settings, so that's one less hassle.

However, once I'm connected, I still have scroll bars and no smart reconnect is happening to resize the window to the work space automatically so I can see the host's task bar. If I manually choose Reconnect from the tab, it resizes properly.

All of this is with testing new settings by closing the program and reopening from scratch each time.

Attached are screenshots of my program settings which indicate that "Current work area size" should be the default, and specific settings for a server I've been testing with. Manually setting the individual server's "Remote desktop size" from "Default" to "Current work area size" does nothing to change the behavior, still see scroll bars when I connect.

Thank you,

Casey

12.6.0.0 and MS SQL 2012.

I've done multiple batch edits and many single edits on a handful of Windows 2012 and 2008 servers that I use on a daily basis using the settings you see attached in the screen shot.

In spite of these settings, they all recently started to either or both a) open in External full screen, and upon hitting Restore, b) have scrollbars even though Smart Reconnect is set for the server's profile.

I did the batch edit and set the session template defaults as recommended here:

I've been fighting this for days and now I'm frustrated that I haven't been able to find the right settings to make things work the way they have been up until this last week.

I'm willing to uninstall and reinstall (haven't yet) if you think that will fix it, or if there is some kind of profile rebuild/reset I can do, I'm desperate to not have every connection require 5 extra steps to get the display correct every time I pull up a server.

My machine is a Surface Pro 4 (with high DPI) recently updated (couple weeks ago) to Creators Update for what that's worth. DPI settings for sessions on the Surface alone changed but I don't think the settings I'm fighting started annoying me until this last week.

Thank you!
