Hi, I didn't report it myself but faced the issue. I followed this topic, and can confirm the update is fixing the issue for me!

Thanks

Thank you for improving Embedded Edge, that helped!

I suddenly thought about this problem and how I managed to fix it using Chrome. I removed the Devolutions folder from 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\'. Unfortunately that included all my preferences, but after the removal the problem was gone. Still using Embedded Chrome on a daily basis.

Hi Stéfane,

I have another workaround. Before getting my focus out of the RDP session with RDM running, I need to minimize the RDM window where the Chrome tab is opened. As soon as I return, I maximize and can directly resume working.

Hi Stéfane,

I still experience this issue indeed. After the server (where I run RDM client on) was restarted last weekend, it worked quite well on Monday morning. Monday afternoon the problem returned unfortunately. Still no clue what triggers this issue.

Disabling system event handler didn't make a difference here as well.

Have you considered adding the 'ignore certificate errors' for Edge? That would be a helpful workaround since Edge is running Chromium as well.

Hi Stéfane,

Today I've tested it several times with several websites, but unfortunately the DisableLoadingMessages option does not make any difference.

Hi there, since the upgrade to version 2021.2.X I experience a disturbing focus issue in Chrome. Every update I'm hoping that it would be solved, but it isn't until now. At this moment, I have a bit more time to spent on solving this so that's why I didn't start this topic earlier. After reading another topic (https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/35873/unable-to-regain-focus-and-need-to-kill-rdm-fairly-often) I decided to create my own topic since the other user was experiencing a certain issue already in version 2021.1.X. For me, it's very easy to reproduce it within 60 seconds.

Tested versions

• 2021.1.41.0 - OK

• 2021.2.13.0 - NOT OK

• 2021.2.20 - NOT OK

• 2021.2.21 - NOT OK

Setup

• Two monitors, local session left, remote RDP session right

• Remote RDP session with RDM installation is on Windows Server 2016

• Problem is with both, installed and portable versions.

• Problem occurs when using Chrome tabbed in RDM and visiting a random webpage

Reproduce

• Open RDP session to Server 2016

• Open RDM in RDP session

• Open website tabbed in Chrome

• Focus on local screen outside RDP window

• Focus back on remote RDP session and try to resume using the webpage -> WINDOW STUCK AT THIS POINT

I have tried to use the profiler on level 8192 but when the lock occurs, nothing seems to happen.

When I try to regain focus for about 1 minute (by continuously selecting the icon on the taskbar) it finally unfreezes.

My workaround is to set Edge as browser in the "Web Browser" object but then I'm unable to ignore certificate errors.

Hi Samuel, after more testing I found my solution.

When File > Options > Types > Remote Desktop > Display mode is set to "Configured", it wil check the object properties for the screen configuration. When a screen is selected within the general options, the object properties will be ignored.

Might be working-as-designed, but in that case it's not designed intuitive :). I would prefer a situation that it works the other way around. Defaults in the options, override in the object properties.

For me it's cleared up. Maybe marioh1 also has some configuration set under options which function as an override for the object properties.

I think I'm experiencing the same thing. As always, I automatically started to work around this problem when it first occurred already a few months ago. I was too lazy to dive in to the problem and just pressed "Switch monitor" every time I was connected to the Remote Desktop.

This morning I took the time to see why my RDP session is continiously opening on my left screen instead of my right screen. First I upgraded to 2021.1.41 (free version). Whatever I change in my template or RDP-session object, it does not change anything in the behaviour. It always takes the settings from Options > Types > Remote Dekstop.

Now I've changed my monitor in the options and it's working fine for me. But it would be ideal if the object-specific settings would override the general setting. That way I can direct some RDP sessions to the left screen and some to the right screen.
