[Question #213636]: Remote Desktop

 

New question #213636 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/213636

So I know a lot of questions have been asked about using Sikuli via remote desktop, but a lot of that revolves around whether you can run it on a headless machine, etc. I have Sikuli installed on office computer and I'd like to remote desktop onto  my office computer from home and start my sikuli program (i.e. I'm simply telling the sikuli program that is already on my office computer to start). This works well if I keep the remote desktop screen always open on the computer that I am remoting from, but if I switch screens to work on something else, sikuli stops working on my office computer. Even if I pull my mouse to the side of the screen so it's no longer above the remote desktop image it's as if my office machine no longer has a mouse and can't perform any of the clicking functions etc. I've tried looking this problem up for remote desktop in general but I can't find answers. I'm sure there's a simple solution (after all,  sikuli works just fine on the office computer if I don't remote in!) so I'm not certain why this would be such a problem. Any help would be appreciated.
