Remote Desktop RDP Window wont maximise properly

I’ve got an issue on my work notebook whereby the Remote Desktop RDP Window wont maximise properly and I have finally found a fix for this problem. My screen resolution is 1366×768.

Previously I’ve had to close the RDP window, and reconnect, ensuring that the connection properties were set to Full Screen. I was able to replicate this on my home PC, but only if I dropped the screen resolution to 1366×768. I’ve put up with this for a while, it’s been on my to-do list, but I’ve never got around to looking at it.

I stumbled across the answer when looking at a list of keyboard shortcuts for Windows 7 on the Microsoft support site. CTRL+ALT+PAUSE switches between and RDP window and Full-Screen.

Success! This seems to be a bug in Windows 7 on this particular screen resolution. I’ve since forwarded an email with details to Microsoft.
