We need to verify if this is the same issue as #209

What I notice is that when using moving remotedesktop app the image of the app is moved but the active region where you can interact with the app doesn't. I don't know how remote app works but it seems that there are two windows. One where the image is rendered and the other where the mouse events are handled. Both need to be moved.

Remote desktop windows cannot be adjusted to the frame

I'm having the same problem.. remote to another PC and even though I can setup zones on the remote PC these drop zones do not appear or work when I drag a remote windows on the remote desktop.

The window I Shift-drag does go transparent.. so it half-way works, just the blue drop zones dont appear and no snapping takes place.

Hi @wolispace
what you described seems to apply to a different issue #1821 that is supposed to be fixed in 0.16.1, are you running 0.16.0 or 0.16.1?

@wolispace

For what it's worth I installed PowerToys on the remote machine and configured it to match my local machine. It "works" in the sense that when it's a remote window the remote PowerToys manages it.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager has been discontinued and we don't have a way to fix this.

Found this while browsing after creating my own issue with RemoteApp. #9320 Guessing there no way currently to fix this then.
