I'll add a me-too to the thread. This has been happening for over a year for me. I'm not certain when it started occurring. Sometimes it can go a week before it occurs, but other times it can be 2 or 3 times per day. It appears to have more often shortly after starting a new RDP session, but it can happen at any time. And sometimes it happens a couple times within a couple minute window.

It is annoying, for sure.

One possible lead. I haven't taken note, but it often happens when I'm sharing screens with other people (MSTeams, etc). So maybe another screen sharing package causes it to occur more. I'm not certain if it always does that though. I'll try to take more notes.

For me, I'm not using Citrix. This is just plain RDP, typically to Windows Server 2019 machines.

I'm on version 2020.1.20.0. It happened on Windows 10, and I just upgraded to Windows 11 and it occurred a few times already.

Since it lets me edit this message, I have more information from today. This has happened 8 times for me since earlier this afternoon. I'm not sure why it's even worse than normal today. None of these 8 times were when screen sharing, so I guess that's not the cause. All 8 times it was Chrome that poked through, but I don't know if any application would have done the same. I'm not sure if it's that Chrome comes to the front, or that RDM goes the back. In any case, RDM just disappears and I'm left with Chrome on the screen.

I have a multi-monitor (3) setup. One more thing to note is that I use DisplayFusion for multi-monitor shortcuts (like moving windows between the screens). That may be a hint of something that would have access to the screens that is more than plain Windows.
