Description
This is an issue that has kind of plagued me over the years. I'm sure it doesn't affect everyone. However, there is an issue with the Placeshifter client, whether connecting locally or remotely where the window displays as a black box when the system is locked and then unlocked. This also happens when an RDP connection to the machine has disconnected and is subsequently reconnected.
This actually affects me quite a bit as I'm not always able to use a remote connection so I'm forced to RDP to one of my machines and remotely use the Placeshifter client to do some sort of administrative task. Or for just testing new features in v9 connected to one of my test servers.
The common thread here seems to be that the Placeshifter interface renderer seems lose its connection to the window when the display changes state (e.g. local to remote display, remote reconnection, or when the system is locked and Windows replaces the desktop with the login screen).
