Retina Display Window Bug

[arraya-halim]

On a 2012 Retina Display MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.4) I've noticed the following 100% reproducible bug with View client 1.5 for Mac:

1. Connect to a View connection server.  The problem does not occur at the server or desktop pool selection screen.

2. Click to another application besides the View client

3. Click on the title bar of the View client window

The mouse pointer instantly jumps to the center of the display and drags the client window position with it.

Workaround:  Click inside the session display portion of the window or the dock icon to give the View client focus.

Hi,

It´s not a Retina Display Window Bug. This also occurs, if you connect a external display to a MacBook without a Retina.

@VMware: please correct this in a future release.

Thanks, Jo!

This bug also happens on Mac Pro running 10.7.4 with one or two monitors connected.  With a single 30 inch monitor (2560x1600) the Vmware View Client window jumps to a new location, but it's not the center of the screen.

If you alt-tab to return focus to the VMware View Client, it does not relocate the window.

I'm seeing a similar issue.  I regularly overlap Outlook and the View client on the same OSX desktop.  If Outlook is in the foreground and I click on the title bar area of the View client in the background the window "jumps" to the bottom left corner of the screen.  Sometimes it jumps and moves continuously.  I've tried this with other applications in the foreground with the same behavior.  It doesn't happen if you click in the main window section of the View desktop.

I'm having the same issue.

I have two monitors connected via thunderbolt/dvi and using the laptop display. Whenever I go to make the view window active, it will jump around. If I try to move it, it is even worse.
