When the vnc server changes to smaller resolution vncviewer just
displays it in top left corener of the previous larger window.

When the server changes to a larger resolution vncviewer exits.

What's so difficult about resizing the window?

This would probably apply to the case when scrollbars make the client
area smaller but the window is not resized accordingly.

Hi Michal

You can change the size of the vnc server?

Not a surprise.

Vnc was implemented in the days when X could not change the size so it is not
part of the protocol simply.

So I'll change this bug to a wishlist bug as this is a feature request.

Best regards,

Hello Michal,

Thightvnc is old software. Upstream does not maintain Thightvnc on
Linux any more. Thus, resizing the window will not become available in
the viewer.
