[FreeRDP-devel] Mouse pointer problem with RemoteApp

[Jean T. <bib...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was able to launch a RemoteApp using xfreerdp (version 2.1.1 from the
distribution or latest version compiled from master branch) in Ubuntu
20.04, on a Windows 7 server and this works pretty well. Thanks for the
impressive work!

I used the following command:

xfreerdp /u:<username> /p:<password> /admin /cert-ignore
/app:"C:\Windows\WRITE.EXE" /v:<server ip-address>

However, the mouse pointer is *always* displayed as an arrow and does not
change. For example, when the mouse cursor is on a text field, it should be
an "I" and not an arrow. This can be easily seen on the Write application.

Of course, this is not a big issue for many applications, but it is indeed
a big problem for graphical programs like Photoshop or Lightroom, where the
mouse pointer can be a brush and can have various sizes and is used to
paint on image areas, etc.

So, is this a known issue, a limitation or a regression?

Should I fill a bug report or is there some option I missed that solves
this issue?

Thanks a lot for your answer,
Jean
