Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install the Remote Desktop Services role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
You configure a Terminal Services RemoteApp application on the terminal server. This application supports the Remote Applications Integrated Locally feature.
-
You remotely connect to the RemoteApp application from a client computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
In this scenario, the child windows of the application’s top-level window may be displayed two times in different locations. However, only one of those windows works correctly. For example, when you move the top-level window of the application, the child windows leave behind a display artifact at their previous location. The artifact window can obtain the focus, but will not be responsive to user inputs.
Cause
This issue occurs because the server-side RDP Shell does not detect some window parenting scenarios correctly. This behavior causes the RDP Shell to report extraneous top-level windows to the client. Therefore, the windows are unresponsive on the client-side.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following hotfix on the computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and that has the Remote Desktop Services role installed.

Windows Server 2008 R2
RTM
GDR
6.1.760 0.21xxx
