Description

I have this option set. I'd have expected that this would scale the remote screen to the local window. I get scroll bars instead. Not sure if this is a bug, but if not than I'd make the request for an enhancement to scale the remote screen to the local window.

Research direction
Trace the scaling option handling in the client code, identify where the remote screen size is applied to the window, and ensure the fit to window logic works correctly.
