Empty window after connecting by RDC

[vrapp2]

Whenever I connect to my work computer (XP SP3) by Remote Desktop, I find all previously-opened Palemoon windows with empty contents. That is, I open Palemoon on real computer, and it shows up OK; then I connect to this computer by remote desktop, and Palemoon window now has only the "frame", but the "contents" is empty and transparent, so I see throw the desktop. If I reopen Palemoon, it works OK. It is probably caused by changing the display driver "on the fly".

It's no big deal and not a request for support, just in case the developer might be interested to look into it. It does not happen with any other application I have.

Desktop composition of hardware accelerated applications for RDP is always tricky.
There seem to be some settings in Windows you can make to avoid this problem, but I don't know the details.

It's a known issue in Windows/RDP, not really anything that can be fixed in Pale Moon (apart from not using acceleration) - considering you're using it on an XP machine there, you really don't lose all that much speed by switching it off, so it'd be an option.

(If the machine you connect to is a Vista or Win7 machine that normally uses Aero, then you have an additional catch to deal with: the "on the fly" switching off of aero/glass is also known to cause issues in already running D3D applications. )
