Viewer crash connecting to 0 x 0 x 24 server w/ Auto Scaling

Post by WBonner »

Obviously my VNC server has crashed, but that's not the problem I'm reporting here. What happens is that when I try to connect to the server using the viewer, the viewer locks up immediately and windows reports it as not responding.

If I uncheck the Auto Scaling option box the viewer will connect and show a tiny application window, allowing me to hit the system menu and look at the connection info. In the connection info it reports the server desktop geometry as 0 x 0 x 24. I'm sure that the code is simply doing a divide by zero by not checking that the geometry is valid before running the scaling.

This problem existed in 1.0.8.x as well, I upgraded to see if the crash went away before digging to figure out what might be causing it.

I didn't know if this is the right venue to report a bug. Hopefully this works.
