Confirmed. I see this exact problem. I will fix this.

Thanks for the report. Checked in the fix for this, will be in MeshCentral v0.5.0-u when I next published it.

Published MeshCentral v0.5.0-u with the fix. Let me know if it works.

Display switching seems to be working for me on 0.5.0-u. It wasn't working properly back on 0.5.0-s earlier this afternoon.

its not fixed, now when i change the first tab just change and second what the first got, tested chrome and firefox

That's currently the intended behavior, because the kvm session is actually a singleton, all the tabs are connected to the same session.

Yes, the agent can only capture one area, so you can't have two different tabs showing two different areas. However, I did fix it so it does not flip between the two selected areas.

one question: you bug fixed the agent also?
if i upgrade the server from 0.5.0-s to 0.5.0-u and agent are upgraded also , what happend to the agent already installed on the client?

[krayon007]

The bug fix was server side. The agent was not updated.

[krayon007]

But to answer your question, if a server update includes an agent update, all the connected agents will automatically update to the version of the agent included in the server update.

so its not possible to have two tabs??

[Ylianst]

Note that agents automatically get updated if needed when the server gets updated. This takes a few minutes to hours depending on how many devices you have. You never have to update agents manually.

It's not possible to get two tabs showing two different screens of the same computer right now. i don't imagine we would do this in the future, it would be a lot of work and fundamental changes.
