Bugs on Microsoft Remote Desktop macOS client

Hello,

 

Local OS: MacOS Monterrey. 

Remote OS: Windows 10

RDP Version: Latest 

 

Bug #1: Resizing windows. I use an external monitor with my MacBook. If I disconnect the monitor and just use my laptop, the screen becomes super enlarged. It's like it's zoomed in. I have to disconnect from my remote PC and reconnect to fix the issue.

 

Bug #2: Irregular mouse pointer size. My monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080. My MacBook has a much higher resolution. If I move an application window from my monitor to my MacBook, the mouse pointer becomes huge. When I move the pointer back to my monitor, it becomes super small. Not sure why this happens. But because of this, I can't use my Macbook as a secondary display.

 

Bug #3: Scroll acceleration. I think MacBooks use scroll acceleration and windows PC's don't? Scrolling is very very slow on the remote machine. I have to do 3 full rotations on my mouse before the page scrolls a little bit on the remote machine. To fix this, I downloaded UnnaturalScrollWheels. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request. 

 

I'm happy to provide more details and answer questions. Thanks a lot!
