RDP for Mac version 10.7.4 has broken multiple monitor support
I regularly connect to a Windows 10 Enterprise (1909) desktop using three monitors from my macOS 12 laptop. Last night the AppStore updated Microsoft Remote Desktop to version 10.7.4 and now it not longer works when "Use all monitors" is turned on. When I connect it loads on only one monitor with a resolution of 1024x768. If I turn off "Use all monitors" I get full resolution on one monitor.
To make sure it is not my laptop I downloaded the beta version of 10.7.3 from https://install.appcenter.ms/orgs/rdmacios-k2vy/apps/microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac/distribution_groups/all-users-of-microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac and confirmed that is worked correctly with that version.

Hi John_Spencer,
No, it wasn't turned on from the beginning, and turning it on and off doesn't make any change.
Tested on Version 10.7.9 (2010)

Hi jjeonag ,
Apologies this fix is taking longer than expected. Does turning off 'optimize for retina display' in setting change any of the buggy behavior you are experiencing?
Thanks

10.7.9 didn't fix the issue.
So far, from 10.7.5 to 10.7.9, no go.

I posted above on 7/6/22.
Extremely disappointed to see that the newest Version 10.7.8 still did not fix the issue.
I am still running strong with my Version 10.7.6 that I restored from Time Machine which is working as expected.

I tried 10.7.8, 10.7.7, 10.7.6, and 10.7.5, and nothing worked.

The newest Version 10.7.8 (2006) don't fix it. The Problem is still present.

This is annoying. I have two external monitors plus the macbook pro screen. When the app launches, notification sound plays and only two screens show up in window mode. It doesn't look like rdp recognizes the internal monitor.
The only way to make 3 monitors work is to click green Enter full screen button, click again to exit then move combined screens window(now it shows all 3 desktops in a long window) to the next monitor and do the same enter/exit full screen on each monitor, on the third one it finally works normally.

thats a shame - really. i've been using ms rdp as long as it exists. most recently on an mbp 13" - 2016 i7, macos 12.2.1 without any troubles. and i heavily depend on using all my 3 monitors on the new one: mbp 16" 2021 / M1 Max. ... does anyone know where i can get a version that is fully functional ???
