Description

Description

Its hard to describe exactly the what I am seeing when the tiny pilot display freaks out, so please see the gif under the screen shot section to see for yourself. In any event, the issue is that the tiny pilot remote display does not display correctly and kind of freaks out, but only when a particular application window (Snappy Driver) is the active window.

What's the behavior that you expect?

For the tiny pilot remote display to consistently display the remote machine's screen regardless of the active application window.

What's happening instead?

See Screenshot below

What are the steps to reproduce this behavior?

  1. Open TinyPilot in Chrome
  2. Launch "Snappy driver" application on remote machine.
