Strange problem with RDP and mouse, only solved after minimize/maximize


good day,

we have annoying problem rdp terminal server. windows server 2008 r2 sp1.

this server has session host role installed, local rdp user licenses.

we have issue when running application.

this application called rockwell factorytalk view , in application display industrial processes.

it take full screen in fixed resolution , display buttons, objects, values... application uses internet explorer cache think uses activex, flash or java, don't know.

what happens this:

- mouse point able move in entire screen (good)

- mouse button work in 1 area of screen (which small rectangle)

- mouse "hovering" above objects highlight items in rectangle

- keyboard remains functional , alt-tab other objects or other applications can focus, still no mouse clicking

the problem can solved by:

- minimizing rdp window , maximizing again

- or: sending message session using task manager, after clicking "ok" on message problem gone

normally, 5 users have application opened in session, "crash" effecting 1 session.

the problem seems happen randomly , don't know if should point factorytalk application, or terminal services/rdp. end users have no rights minimize/maximize, not solution. 

is possible have input on please?

thank you.


hi,

thank posting in windows server forum.

firstly please check application support team whether application supported windows server 2008 r2 in remote session. in addition, suggest update client rdp version rdp 8.1 , check result better feature , functionality. 

apart this, there hotfix issue. please download, install , check result.
cause:
the issue occurs because remote desktop activex object not deactivate focus of remote desktop session when focus lost. because focus still activated, remote desktop activex object cannot set focus of remote desktop session again when change focus session.

a remote desktop session not respond keyboard input or mouse input after loses focus in windows 7 or in windows server 2008 r2
