Description
-
All the windows created by FreeRDP have the same WM_CLASS property.
If I open Visual Studio, MSPaint, then PowerShell, all the windows will have theWM_CLASS(STRING) = "RAIL", "Microsoft Powershell"properties (very likely a FeeRDP limitation).
edit: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/6570#issuecomment-725878476 -
I have graphical glitches when opening winapps programs / rearranging the screen layout
Then I can see the windows decorations in other workspaces:
- Context menus (right-click) are often a black rectangle in various programs (like the Windows Explorer)
