Hi John_Spencer,
no, I'm not using PC groups since in my testing the bug is reproducible only starting with an empty PCs view.
However, I nailed down the issue to these simple steps that always trigger the crash:
- Open Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta and delete all the PC connections to have an empty PCs view.
- Click the "+" (plus) symbol --> "Add PC".
- In the "PC name" field, type "1" and click the "Add" button.
- Click the "+" (plus) symbol --> "Add PC".
- In the "PC name" field, type "test" and click the "Add" button.
- Export the two PC connections to a folder.
- Delete the two PC connections from Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta.
- Import the two PC connections with the "Import from RDP file…" menu (make sure that you select both the connections in the file chooser window).
- Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta crashes.
I can provide a video and many crash reports if needed.
