Window size larger than workspace

This may be a bug in Unity, but I've also posted to what I think is upstream for Remmina:
https://sourceforge.net/p/remmina/bugs/94/

I am seeing the same problem as Lonnie where the window launching opens larger than the display size of the screen I'm looking at.

 I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 32bit with Unity desktop. I also am using the dual monitor setup but without scaling the size like Lonnie uses.

I'm trying to find a way to set the size in Remmina so I can view everything in one window that's smaller than the size of my screen and without having to mess with scroll bars. Most adjustments I try just makes the window oversized again (right off the bottom edge of my screen).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is this bug fixed in later versions? Perhaps the 14.04 package needs upgrading?

In Ubuntu 14.04, I'm running this version:

remmina:amd64/trusty 1.0.0-4ubuntu3 uptodate

You can see what version you are running by running the following in one command line:

sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions ; sudo apt-show-versions remmina

This remains an issue for me.

I you view the video of this bug (on YouTube), under it is a message board where Brendan Hide said this:

"I've had this exact same bug running ArchLinux. Seems to have been fixed in the latest version however. My pacman log shows I updated Remmina on Thursday October 17th from v1.0.0 to v1.1.1."

Since Ubuntu 14.04 is an LTS, the Remmina package should be upgraded in the Ubuntu repositories to version 1.1.1 (or later perhaps).

Can someone please upgrade this package in 14.04 LTS, so that an update is released via Ubuntu Software Updater?

You can detect which version of remmina you are using by running this as one command:

sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions ; sudo apt-show-versions remmina

In Ubuntu 14.01 this returns:

remmina:amd64/trusty 1.0.0-4ubuntu3 uptodate

What version is being run in Ubuntu 14.10?

It seems like I tested 14.10 and did not have this bug we are reporting here. I'm hoping we can get the corrected version of Remmina into the 14.01 LTS. Is this likely?

Please upgrade the software version for Remmina in the Ubuntu 14.04 repository.

I use Ubuntu exclusively, on my work-computer, and Remmina is among the most important Linux programs I use on a daily basis. This bug is driving me crazy.

Ubuntu 14.04 is a Long Term Release. A bug like this should not have to be endured for 4 years. Please assist.

Lonnie - we don't update to newer versions of packages in stable releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

As I understand it the sourceforge.net project is obsolete and Remmina is now developed on https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina. That will probably be why there is no response to your bug report. I think the current developers don't have access to the old project to remove it.

You suggest that version 1.1.1 has this fixed so I had a look through the log to see what has changed. I *think* this may be the fix you need:
https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/commit/348e01d27869a577ad5df9bf6286f876b34a40c0

I'm having trouble reproducing this in my setup but it you are able to please try building a package with the patch and see if that solves it:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep remmina
$ bzr branch lp:~robert-ancell/+junk/remmina-lp1370014
$ cd remmina-lp1370014
$ bzr-buildpackage

and install the appropriate .debs with dpkg -i from ../build-area

@Robert : Thanks for your attention on this. I see that a fix has been released, does that mean it should be available via Software Updater soon?

Also, I've reported another bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1418078

It is not the same problem as this bug, but it did contribute to making this bug worse.

Robert, I removed remmina from my system, then I built and installed these debs (from your repository):
- remmina-common_1.0.0-4ubuntu4_all
- remmina_1.0.0-4ubuntu4_amd64
- remmina-plugin-rdp_1.0.0-4ubuntu4_amd64

Here is a screen shot of how tall Remmina launched from the bottom-workspace's perspective:

It's vertical dimensions are the height of two workspaces!

Here's the top workspace's perspective:

You may have to have more than one monitor to reproduce this (I'm not sure).

I've reinstalled 1.0.0-4ubuntu3, and I've found a work around by changing the "Default View Mode" to "Scrolled Window" instead of "Automatic":
http://neartalk.com/ss/2015-03-24_003_763x633.png

This opens a very small window that I can at least maximize easily. I'd rather it already be maximized upon launching of an RDP session, but this small window is much better than the over-sized window problem when using "Automatic" for Default View Mode.

utopic has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the utopic task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
