Known Issues

Caps Lock Key Press Events Are Not Synchronized When Using a JIS Layout Keyboard

 
194012

Caps Lock press events on a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Layout keyboard connected to a client machine are not synchronized on the agent machine if the Caps Lock key is pressed outside the PCoIP session (for example, when the PCoIP client window is minimized). This happens because on JIS Layout keyboards, the Caps Lock key, or the Eisu (英数) key is used to toggle between English and Japanese input.

Workaround:

If a JIS Layout keyboard is connected on the client machine, do one of the following:

  • Before establishing the PCoIP session, set the input language to a language other than Japanese.
  • During an active PCoIP session, if a Caps Lock press event becomes unsynchronized, disconnect from the session, and connect again.
  • When a PCoIP session is minimized, DO NOT press the Caps Lock key outside of the PCoIP client window.

Incorrect Display of Color Space on Anyware Health Window

 
186953

When the PCoIP Ultra GPU Offload mode is enabled, the BGRA color space might incorrectly display as BGRA 8|8|8|8 on the Anyware Health window.

Workaround:

When the PCoIP Ultra GPU Offload mode is enabled, DO NOT use the Anyware Health window to identify current color space.

PCoIP Client quits unexpectedly when exiting full screen while audio source is running (MacBook Pro)

 
171658

Exiting full screen mode while an audio source is running may cause the session to quit unexpectedly. This issue affects clients running on recent MacBook Pro hardware.

Workaround:

Stop audio sources, including video with audio, before leaving full-screen mode to avoid this issue.

If the session does disconnect, reconnecting will resume the session.

The name of network shown in Anyware Health Monitor does not change during a session

 
169411

In Anyware Health Monitor, the name of network shown will not change during a session even if the actual network changes.

For example, if an ethernet cable is pulled out and the system switches to WiFi, the name of network will not change in the Anyware Health Monitor display until the session is disconnected and reconnected.

When entering credentials, pressing Enter in Username field does not advance cursor to Password field

 
166593

165911

Re-sizing the PCoIP Client window while participating in a PCoIP Ultra Collaboration session may cause the PCoIP client to crash.

Workaround:

If this occurs, re-start the collaboration session by sending a new invitation to the Guest Collaborator.

Wacom Intuos Pro and Intuos 5 tablets cannot be bridged

 
41045

These tablets work as a pointing device when a session is not active, and when the tablet is not bridged while a session is active. When the tablet is bridged, the device manager application running on the remote host displays a warning icon next to the tablet and the tablet does not work.

Intuos PTH-660 and PTH-860 tablets are not impacted by this issue.

Workaround:

Zooming in macOS while connected to hard host throws local and remote mouse out of sync

 
30248

Using the zoom button on PCoIP Software Client for Mac will result in a desynchronization of mouse pointers when connected to hard hosts. Teradici recommends not using the zoom button on macOS while in a PCoIP Software Client session connecting to hard hosts.

Mouse out of sync due to scaling in dual high-resolution displays

 
29862

Connecting a PCoIP Software Client session with dual high-resolution displays in full-screen mode (2560x1600 for example) to a hard host that does not support high-resolution displays may result in unexpected behavior. For example, one or both displays may be scaled to single link DVI resolutions without the client also scaling, resulting in unsynchronized mouse movement.

Workaround:

Set client desktop to single link DVI resolutions. Alternatively, upgrade host GPU to support dual-link resolutions (Tera2 hosts only)
