Using the Citrix Receiver/Viewer to remotely access my Windows 7 desktop.

Occasionally, when I switch to another OS X desktop (using gesturing) then switch back to the desktop that contains the Citrix Viewer, the keyboard/mouse entry is ignored.

What's the most reliable way to restore keyboard/mouse entry? Is there a way to prevent this?

Citrix Viewer: 11.8.2 (255309)

** edit **

Using bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.

Tried:

  • swipe left and right - no effect
  • swipe up and down - no effect
  • command+tab seems to work, but not relably.
