Resizing on Meta Quest gives "No hosts currently connected"

[natebragg]

Bug description

I installed connectbot onto a meta quest 3. It seems to work fine, but side loaded apps only start in profile, not landscape. To get around this, you can resize windows arbitrarily.

It seems that when I resize connectbot, it no longer displays my session, instead saying "no hosts currently connected".

What I'm doing is unconventional, nevertheless I'm very much hoping I can get this working.

To be clear, when I leave it in profile, it displays my session just fine. I can even make the window maybe 10% bigger, no problem. But if I resize it more, it gives the above message

Steps to reproduce

1. Sideload connectbot onto a meta quest 3
2. Click "switch distance", so that apps are in the curved display
3. Open connectbot and open any connection; notice that the connection succeeded, and text appears fine
4. Resize connectbot by grabbing and dragging any of the four corners (they will flash white when highlighted).
5. The console session disappears, and is replaced by the aforementioned message

Expected behavior

It will resize, and the remote terminal remains visible.

Android device

• Device: Meta Quest 3
• ConnectBot Version: 1.9.10

I realize you probably don't have a meta quest at your disposal, so I have two ideas:

1. You can point me in the right direction, and I can try to fix this myself, or
2. We can collaborate to fix this together, with me testing and reporting back.

Ran into the same issue on quest. I can see this warning in LogCat.

TerminalView not displayed because it is too large to fit into a software layer (or drawing cache), needs 7648900 bytes, only 1600000 available

Adding android:hardwareAccelerated="false" to AndroidManifest.xml seems to have resolved the issue for me for now.
