Title: Pop-Out Monitors Stopped Working after Upgrade from v8 to v9
Post by: methos5000sewi on December 18, 2013, 04:46:05 AM

I have a dual monitor system at home and occasionally connect to it, from work, for non-work reasons, on my break. Using v8 and prior I was able to use the "Pop-out monitors as individual windows" option, populate each of my work monitors with my home monitors, go to full-screen mode, and perfectly be "at home". Now, when I utilize the feature, it simply overwrites the other window as if the Pop-Out feature were not enabled. For grins I tried it the other way around, connecting to my work PC, from home, and I got the same results.

This started happening when I updated to version 9, from version 8.

Has anyone had the same experience?

Apparently, v9 does not "pop out" the other monitor in a new window but rather in a new tab. If you look at the title bar of the window, you should be able to see more than one session names after "popping out". If you right-click one of the names, it will then give you the option to move it to a new window, and that one actually works.

I just got email from the team;

Extras > Options > Remote Control > Open new connections in tabs

That is the option that enables/disables this behaviour. All is well again.
