Ho Sergey. That looke exactly like what happens when the host computer you are connecting to is also the viewer computer you are connecting from. I've done that accidentally a number of times. Only one connection is actually opened, but the host screen displayed is that of the viewer, which changes as a result, and that change propagates down the screen.

Hello Sergey,
Thank you for your message.
Yes, Peter is absolutely correct in this case - this screen usually appears when you’re connecting to Host running on the same machine as your Viewer. Please try connecting to Host located on a different machine and see if the issue persists.
Hope that helps.
