You do not need to install the package. But this package is the only one I changed dependencies for. All other packages have no difference from 5.3.0-3 to 5.3.0-4. I guess you updated other packages that caused the issue.

@eworm

Only thing I changed was dependencies. Do you have vmware-horizon-mmr installed at all?

Not at first but I did after I read your comment. Now the application has gone so flakey that it takes ~10 attempts to successfuly access my remote desktop. This is what I found in /tmp/vmware-$user/vmware-mks-$pid.log. Hope this is useful

Only thing I changed was dependencies. Do you have vmware-horizon-mmr installed at all?

Since updating to 5.3.0-4, the client cannot open full-screen in gnome, at least not completely. The top bar is still visible which causes the remote view to contain annoying scrollbars. Gnome version 3.360 Wayland (Edit: The same thing happens in Gnome XOrg)

The 5.3 (5.2) client runs normally in KDE plasma only as root. In other DE (gnome, mate, xfce4) - works normally under a normal user. How do I find the cause of the problem? Advise...

I tried installing(Manjaro) via: sudo sh ./Downloads/VMware-Horizon-Client-5.3.0-15208949.x64.bundle

Bad idea. You should build packages and install that.

I tried installing(Manjaro) via: sudo sh ./Downloads/VMware-Horizon-Client-5.3.0-15208949.x64.bundle

and after typing "yes" to agree i just get a:

Installation was unsuccessful.

Any thoughts on how to install?

yes. I use full screen on all monitors and enable display on the secondary monitor. Pulldown of top bar can be triggered from the same location on the primary monitor. Must be some recent bug. This wasn't the case in a previous version.

Has anyone else experienced the issue where the docked top bar won't come down when you hover over it?

@KorvinSilver In case of problems with the display resolution just disable display scaling. In the Linux build of the software it doesn't show the option to disable scaling, so you have to add the line view.enableDisplayScaling = "FALSE" to the file ~/.vmware/view-preferences.
