Bug Description

Normally, when I double-click onto one of my Remote Desktop Entries (in Remmina), it launches that remote session into the same monitor and virtual desktop that the Remmina Remote Desktop Client window is sitting in.

However, recently, that behavior has changed. Now it launches into another virtual desktop (without switching to that virtual desktop)! This can fool the user into thinking that their remote session didn't launch at all.

It is probably irrelevant that I have a dual-monitor-setup, because (like I mentioned) the issue is that sessions are invisibly launching into another virtual desktop (instead of launching into the same virtual desktop that the Remmina Client is sitting in).

Furthermore, when I try to move the session to the desired desktop (using Unity's Virtual Desktop Manager), as soon as I try to go full-screen (at the location I moved it), it jumps back over to the unintended virtual desktop.

I'm not experiencing this bug in a single monitor setup. It only occurs when I'm using multiple monitors.

Same issue here. Furthermore the opened session is difficult to locate because when it seems to move when trying to select it.
