Description

To provide step-by-step instructions to conduct the test to 'break seamless'.


Instructions

This test is to be conducted at a Windows desktop with Windows Receiver installed.
  1. Connect to the Storefront and log in.
  2. Select and open the application that is being tested.
  3. Press Shift-F2.  The application will change from this: 
Application floats directly on desktop.
to this: 
Application floats inside Receiver window.
Note: The Receiver Window will open at an unpredictable size.  The Window may appear black and empty, but the application will be floating in this window somewhere.  The application can be moved around and the Receiver window can be re-sized.

Now the application can be tested without seamless.

Issue/Introduction

When a published application is running and it 'looks like' it is running locally, this is called 'seamless'. The Receiver Window is being hidden and only the application inside the window is being displayed on the remote desktop. Some applications might experience an issue in this mode. One way to test if the issue is related to the seamless presentation is to 'break seamless'.
