This is one of two bugs with Remmina that really annoy me; after a
while, I've gathered more data and now I think have the simplest way to
reproduce the problem. Also, this time all the machines are running
Debian Jessie with MATE.
- I connect over VNC to one machine with a 1024x768 screen. A small
window appears in the center of my FullHD screen. (This is a good
starting point to see all kinds of scaling problems that I have.)
- Then I connect to another machine with a FullHD screen. The window is
still the same size, but now a FullHD screen is cramped into it (without
honoring my "Maintain scale ratio" option, of course.)
Now if I resize the window by dragging its border, or click "Maintain
scale ratio" twice to disable it and enable it back, then it resizes the
image properly; but whatever else I do, the scale ration is not honored.
What I've tried:
- Being not happy, I try to "Maximize" the window. The image is now
stretched in a thin horizontal line with black borders above and below -
neither honoring the scale ratio, nor even scaling to fit all the screen.
- If I click "Resize the windows to fit in remote resolution", the same
happens.
- If I click "Toggle fullscreen mode", the same happens.
- After any of those, if I toggle the "Scaling mode" off and back on,
then it scales to cover all the window, but still does not honor the
"Maintain scale ratio".
I've also tried this with RDP - connecting to Windows machines. The
results are the same.
And finally, only in the case when the remote screen is SMALLER than the
window, turning "Scaled mode" off and on helps resize the window
properly. When the remote screen is LARGER than the window, it does not
honor the aspect ratio.
