iPad Pro 12.9": Citrix Receiver 7.0.2 released,

Citrix has released a new version of Citrix Receiver and it really looks like they have addressed some issues.

 - SHIFT+Click, CTRL+Click

So far I have only been able to confirm that with the X1 I actually can make use of SHIFT+Click (rubberband selection) or CTRL+Click (distinct item selection).

The SHIFT+Click does not work in all circumstances, had to attempt it twice multiple times, but hey it's there and works.

- Error 51 

seems to be gone as well.

Working daily only with the iPad and Citrix is today a real pain.

But the really bad things are:

1- bluetooth keyboard input lost many times during the day when switching between iOS apps

The keyboard itself works, i.e. I can switch CMD+TAB between iOS apps.

Workaround: The best way to get it working again is to click in the Citrix toolbar the Home button and then select Open on the same published app again.

2- multi-key presses ALT-TAB/CTRL-C/-V/-Z/-A don't work reliably

Very annoying and frustrating. Used hundred times during the day and the behavior is not always the same and in most cases does not work correctly. E.g. In OneNote to select a full note you have to CTRL-A three times and it sometimes works and sometimes after the first attempt it removes the selection with "a". Many times I give up.

3- Citrix X1 mouse cursor lost

Without the mouse I could not work, but I also need the black icon and not only the remote cursor. The remote cursor has to high a delay for me to work with. But many times during the day I loose the black cursor.

Workaround: Use Home and under the options disable and enable X1 mouse again

4- Screen resolution

Even though they confirmed that we will be able to use the native resolution of the iPad, we still cannot make it work. And even with 1600x1400 the iPad says it goes to 85% to display the full content, so It is not really 1600x1400 on the iPad.

No workaround
