This cumulative update introduces the following fixes that have not been previously released:

1. With HDX Flash redirection enabled, keyboard and mouse clicks can stop working after you finish playing a Flash video embedded in a Web page. The issue occurs because the seamless browser window fails to reclaim focus from the Flash video window.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1079]

2. With Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.3 installed on the endpoint device, Flash content cannot be redirected to be rendered on the client; instead, the content is rendered on the server.

   To enable this fix in its entirety, you must install both a client hotfix that contains Fix #LA2283, and

   • For XenApp: an HDX Flash hotfix that contains Fix #LA2283
   • For XenDesktop: a Virtual Desktop Agent hotfix that contains Fix #LA2283

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2283]

3. With Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11.4 installed on the endpoint device, Flash content cannot be redirected to be rendered on the client; instead, the content is rendered on the server.

   To enable this fix in its entirety, you must install both a client hotfix that contains Fix #LA2565, and

   • For XenApp: an HDX Flash hotfix that contains Fix #LA2565
   • For XenDesktop: a Virtual Desktop Agent hotfix that contains Fix #LA2565

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2565]

1. After using a Webcam in a video chat program for several minutes, the video stream can begin to experience a noticeable delay.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1990]

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#261552]

1. A local Windows Taskbar set to autohide is not accessible when you maximize a seamless application.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#178510]

2. On Windows XP (32-bit only) client devices, applications that do not have icons associated with them can show incorrect grouping in the Windows Taskbar.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1208]

1. This enhancement provides proxy detection logic optimization so that the logic reverts to use 'Use automatic configuration script' when Internet Explorer's 'Automatically detect settings' option is enabled and Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD) is not available on the network.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#246824]

2. Attempts to automatically reconnect to a disconnected virtual desktop can cause the Desktop Viewer to become unresponsive after the endpoint returns from standby mode.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA0266]

3. While writing a file to the client drive if the total size exceeds the maximum quota value set for the client drive, an error message or a warning message is not displayed.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1620]

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1038]

6. On occasion seamless application windows become topmost, preventing users from switching to local application windows.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1779]

7. After locking and unlocking a client device while connected to a published desktop in full-screen mode, the published desktop no longer displays in full-screen mode. Instead, the desktop appears as a window and displays horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

   Additionally, users may find the Esc and Tab keys not to function in client local applications launched using RES Virtual Desktop Extender until those applications lose and take focus again.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2181]

8. Minimizing the session window from the Desktop Viewer (CDViewer.exe) can cause CDViewer.exe to utilize up to 100% of the CPU, and attempts to restore the session window fail.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2379]

9. Clicking an application icon multiple times in rapid succession can result in the creation of multiple, separate sessions even if the application limit is set to 1. To enable this fix, you must set the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrixICA Client
   Name: EnableSyncLaunch
   Type: REG_DWORD

    To suppress the pop-up window, you must create the following registry key:

    On 32-bit Windows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrixPNAgent
    Name: SuppressDisconnectMessage
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: 0x4

    Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: 0x4

    [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1487]

11. Connection attempts from Citrix Receiver running on Windows XP to a Web Interface site listed in the Trusted Sites list can fail upon launch due to a ticket validation failure.

1. Upon reconnecting to a disconnected session, the Desktop Viewer (cdviewer.exe) can exit unexpectedly.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1350]

2. In a pass-through session, selecting 'Set up audio and video' in Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and proceeding to the Web cam page can cause the wfshell.exe or the wfica32.exe process to exit unexpectedly.

   To enable this fix, you must also install the server-side Fix #LA2368.

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1644]

3. The wfica32.exe process might exit unexpectedly if the printer is unavailable or inaccessible.

   The following message appears:

   'Citrix HDX Engine has encountered a problem and needs to close.'

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA1987]

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2019]

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA2127]

1. A change introduced in Version 12.1 of the online plug-in introduced a delay in the appearance of the connection progress bar for seamless connections. However, for sessions connecting to slower servers, this behavior is not always desirable. This enhancement introduces support for the following registry key that allows you to configure the duration of the delay:

   On 32-bit Windows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECitrixICA Client
   Name: NotificationDelay
   Type: REG_DWORD
   Data: <Delay, in milliseconds>

   On 64-bit Windows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432nodeCitrixICA Client
   Name: NotificationDelay
   Type: REG_DWORD
   Data: <Delay, in milliseconds>

   [From RcvrForWin3.3_13.3.100][#LA0678]
