Error description

  • Users on HOD V 16 with Managed HOD (V 16) often find that the
terminal session will disconnect but the visual indicators do
not show that the session has terminated.

The session window for the connection shows that "Connect" is
GRAYED OUT but "Disconnect" is ENABLED.
Users are able to disconnect the session and reconnect but the
incorrect statuses need to be RESOLVED to represent the correct
status.
