Black Box only after click to textbox via Remote desktop - WINDOWS 10 RMD

    David91 thank you for clarifying this.

    You can try the following - take a screenshot or record a short video on the machine where TestComplete is installed. My best guess is - you won't see the black box.

    As I said previously, this should not affect your tests in any way :smileyhappy:

Thank you Marsha!

 

Hi David91 , I see that the prodcut version is quite outdated. Could you try updating to the newer version and check if the issue is still there for Windows 10? 

If that doesn't help then please follow Marsha's advice of contacting support.

Thank you.

    David91 I see.

    As far as I understand, this black box is an artifact related to the remote desktop connection, not TestComplete itself. So, most probably it does not affect the remote machines where the tests are actually running. 

    So, it should not affect the testing.

     

    Could you please clarify the issue. Are you facing any errors or freezes because of that black box?

      It doesn't affect the tests yet. This happens only when recording and playing tests.. when I click into the text box without testcomplete, it is all OK

       

      Thank you.
