Spinner grinds mstsc rdp session to a halt #10672
Description
Describe the bug
As described in
microsoft/terminal#19129
i'm using two nested rdp sessions using mstsc to connect to my work pc, and when there's e.g. the windows terminal's spinner ... spinning, everything becomes super unresponsive - the mouse is stuttering.
the machine i'm using as a client is somewhat weak (a thin client), and i connect 4 displays to it, but i suspect the animation in combination with some high fps settings to overwhelm the rdp session with drawing commands. i've been pointed here from the windows terminal issue, any ideas?
Steps to reproduce the bug
- rdp onto a machine
- from there, rdp onto another machine
- run windows terminal there, go to the settings dialog
- observe the spinner spinning while windows terminal searches for updates
- observe the mouse pointer jumping
Expected behavior
animations should be transferred in low fps over rdp, and this should not make the entire machine unresponsive
Screenshots
if wanted, i can add a video here, though a screen recording probably won't communicate the problems... maybe i can use my phone?
