Description

agent-host bug

@connor4312 @bamurtaugh I'm also showing this as still broken, trying to initiate ssh works just fine in normal view but not agents view, when using SSH key (in my case on Windows)

Can't find any specific logs outside of this in the "Window" output pane. Remote Connections and Remote Terminal Window show blank logs as well.
