gnome3.14 rdp not working properly (remmina, vinagre)

I wonder if someone else also experiences problems with rdp windows since the latest update to gnome 3.14.1:

I connect to a remote desktop with vinagre or remmina. It seems to work without a flaw (fullscreen mode). After a few clicks it seems as I click 'through' the rdp desktop down to the gnome desktop and opening the "settings/change background" dialog from gnome-shell.

Update: I have to restart the gnome-shell (Alt-F2 -> "r") after this problem occurs as the whole shell is not working as expected anymore.

I am not sure if the problem is in the gnome 3.14 upgrade. Package freerdp was upgraded yesterday too.

Just tried it:

downgraded freerdp, no change in behaviour. I'll wait for someone else to test this before filing a bug.

Inarrowed it down a bit.

If using xfreerdp from commandline no problem occurs. So the problem is now either because of remmina/vinagre (unlikely) or with the gnome/gtk upgrade (more likely) which again has effects on remmina/vinagre.

Any comments? Anyone else using rdp? Can't be the only one obviously.

Seems like it's a bug with Gnome 3.14, it affect many other fullscreen applications.

For me it happens when i go back to a fullscreen app on one monitor after working on another app in an another monitor.

Since the update, I'm not able to copy/paste a text through RDP on Windows 2012 server using remmina. Does anyone else encounter this problem ?

Yes, it seems the clipboard is broken in the latest xfreerdp.
