Jim Salter, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping
to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been
fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the
SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Title:
  "Resize the window to fit in remote resolution" can cause mis-display
  of remoted OS

Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  2) apt-cache policy remmina
  remmina:
    Installed: 1.0.0-4ubuntu3
    Candidate: 1.0.0-4ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 1.0.0-4ubuntu3 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen when remoting into a Windows machine,
  example configuration for a scratch build of Microsoft Windows Vista
  Business x86 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002 with nothing installed
  at
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/998589/+attachment/4281799/+files/screenshot.png
  , is when one clicks the top left button "Resize the window to fit in
  remote resolution (Control_R + 1)" is the window is resized
  appropriately to the remote resolution.

  4) What happens instead the window resizes to a height taller then the screen is vertically, and one of the following outcomes:
  + It resizes the remoted OS correctly.
  + Shows one half a black screen vertically at the top and the next half of the remoted operating system at the bottom.
  + A black screen as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/998589/+attachment/4281800/+files/screenshot2.png .

  This is reported to be a regression from Oneiric to Precise. As well,
  it can have varying collateral effects based on the desktop
  environment. For example, right-clicking the window handle on the
  taskbar and maximizing will at least bring the display visible, but
  all the controls - including tabs to select different sessions - will
  still be missing until I close remmina and delete the preferences file
  from ~/.remmina/.  After deleting the prefs file and restarting
  Remmina, things will be restored.
