AnyDesk not displaying KeePassXC window #11403

Closed ev-nut closed 4 weeks ago

ev-nut commented 4 weeks ago

Overview

BRIEFLY: Using KeePassXC via AnyDesk results in display problems on local AnyDesk client.

At first glance it sounds like an AnyDesk fault, but practically every other operation I am doing on the Remote -- across a variety of apps -- shows no issue and performs as expected. Is this possibly a PRIVACY or SECURITY FEATURE of KeePassXC to not display content accessed remotely ?

DETAILS:

Logging from LOCAL into a REMOTE desktop -- both Win11 -- using AnyDesk 8.1.0. Behaves as expected until I launch KeePassXC on the Remote (version 2.7.8). The main window does not show up on the client (local), but does show on the Remote. Interestingly, putting local & remote into the s ame room and watching my actions done on local on the remote's monitor ... to find the version of KeePassXC ... I moved the cursor to the the Help field in the menu bar, and suddenly the SUB-Menu is displayed on the local -- meaning I was able to select the About option without looking at the remote's monitor. However, although the expected Help-About window popped up on the Remote ... it was not being displayed on the local !

The tool-tips (OpenDatabase, SaveDatabase, LockDatabase, etc) also display on the local, but not the resulting window when clicking on those actions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Already described above. See above for description of steps I performed.

Expected Behavior

Like all other apps launched on the Remote behaving properly and being displayed on the local.

Actual Behavior

KeePassSC 2.7.8 does not show on the local client using AnyDesk.

Context

KeePassXC - VERSION Revision: REVISION

Operating System: Windows/Linux/macOS Desktop Env: Gnome/KDE/XFCE/Mate/Cinnamon Windowing System: X11/Wayland

Win11 Pro (x86) on Remote, Win11 Home on Snapdragon (ARM64) on local.
