[Bug 998589] Re: "Resize the window to fit in remote resolution" can cause mis-display of remoted OS
It looks like the fix [1] to the upstream issue [2] is pretty simple -
would it be practical to apply it to the package in Trusty?

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.
