Gnome RDP - Black Screen (Ubuntu 24.04.1)

when i connect to Gnome RDP in Ubuntu 24.04.1 in remote login mode (i need this to be able to resize screen). I get black screen with mouse cursor.

After much googling i have seen people have been reporting an issue like this for a while.

What I discovered is it works fine from mstsc.exe on windows.

But if one uses the more modern Remote Desktop app on Windows or Mac or the new Windows App on Mac one gets a black screen.

Not sure if this is expected, my assumption is this is a bug of some sort in gnome-rdp.

I have tried every combo of setting i know to fix this client side. No joy.
I have not tried installed xrdp as suggested elsewhere as that seems to defeat the purposes of gnome-rdp.
Yes i have all the permissions i need - remeber it works fine from mstsc.exe
