Remoter Forums

This is such a strange problem I had to make sure it was real. But it is real, and it is a problem when entering a new server into Remoter Mac. 1.0.8. Not sure if this problem also existed on prior versions. I am on an iMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

To replicate:
In Remoter for Mac,
Click the orange circle to Add a Server.
Click: Click here for manual setup
Click black button to select server type. (I choose VNC over SSH)
Type some text into Server Name
Scroll down, and scroll back up....
Your text is gone, or replaced with "5900" !!!

This problem happens no matter if I use the scroll wheel in the mouse, or grab the scroll bars and drag down to scroll. It does seem to be less of a problem if I drag the scroll bar down to scroll, but it can happen that way too. Pressing Tab to exit the field does not protect the text.
This change is permanent, and will not revert to the correct text by closing & opening. It seems to really be moving the text or swapping the fields, usually inserting the port number. Really annoying!

Also; pressing the tab key does not move to the next entry field, as expected.

I can confirm the bug it happened to me several times, also in combination with clicking on the "Advanced" button. I also experienced that my entered VNC passwords are gone just after clicking the "Advanced" button.

Yes, this is a known issue. I'm actually revamping the session editor into a more Mac-native look. Hopefully it will be in next week's beta.

Thanks,

Cool thank you!

Sorry this is taking longer than expected. I actually ended up spending an inordinate amount of time last week correcting an issue with Remoter connecting to Windows 8. I'm working on this ATM, and hopefully the beta will be out really soon..

Thanks!,
Raf.
