PowerBuilder: 2025 (Runtime : 25.0.0.3711)
OS: Windows 10/11
Connection: Remote Desktop (RDP)
The Issue: I am experiencing a crash when transitioning an active session from a physical monitor to a Remote Desktop connection, specifically when the RibbonBar is used.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch the app at the office (physical PC) with the RibbonBar enabled. It works perfectly.
Go home and connect to the same PC via Remote Desktop.
The moment the session switches to RDP, the application crashes immediately without any error message.
Crucial Detail: If I restart the app while inside the RDP session, the RibbonBar works fine.
If the RibbonBar is disabled (using standard menus), the crash never occurs during the transition.
The resolution is identical in both environments, so it doesn't seem to be a scaling issue. It appears the RibbonBar's rendering engine fails to handle the driver switch between the local GPU and the RDP display driver.
Has anyone encountered this or found a way to refresh the RibbonBar rendering context during a session change?
