Overall great app for Remote Desktop.

I love the application, everything which we need for RDP. Issues which I found are 1. Not opening in full screen and pointer doesn't work, need to make full screen then only pointer works at correct place. 2. Disconnect many times. 3. When disconnect then not able to connect automatically, need to disconnect and need to connect everytime.

touch bar

the touch bar is not controlled by application by RD-Beta and RD-10. whereas RD-8 is compatible with touch bar.
for RD-8 function keys appear on touch bar but with newer version function key appear only when the function key is pressed.
the touch bar should show function key without a change in setting to make is more easy to use.
