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.

New update, new problem. My fullHD monitor is recognized as having 2490x1400 resolution. They say the problem is not on the VDI side but with the client. I can barely work, everything's so small and since all the display settings are locked on the system (enterprise logic). Any idea what the problem might be? There was also an nvidia update before this first occurred as well. For now I downgraded to 5.0.0-1, that works.

I resolved the problem @KorvinSilver. If you are using a VPN or proxy, you need to use cntlm to tunnel all connection.

-> yay cntlm
-> # edit /etc/cntlm.conf
-> sudo systemctl start cntlm 
-> sudo systemctl enable cntlm 
-> # edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc ( 
-> # export HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"
-> # export HTTPS_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY

after doing that, you can try start again you vmware-horizon-client

Deleted all packages and reinstalled it from the archlinuxcn repo. Now it works, although in theory it's the same version just prebuilt. Here's the output difference:

I can't reproduce, sorry... Everything works as expected for me.

Bednar commented on 2019-05-03 13:16 (UTC)

I am having the exact same issue as KorvinSilver.

KorvinSilver commented on 2019-05-03 07:06 (UTC) (edited on 2019-05-03 07:10 (UTC) by KorvinSilver)

Stopped working today, no idea why, there's a lot of errors in the output. I can log in to the server I'm using, start the connection but it crashes a few seconds later before the desktop could load. I can log in from elsewhere, only this one's broken.
