great

This application causes the HTML5 client to bring up the print dialog box every time you launch a desktop or application session. (as if you are hitting CTRL+ P) This requires you to hit escape every. single. time. and was maddening to figure out what extension caused the problem. I'm suprised that VMware's own extension causes this behavior across 7.3.x and 7.4.x horizon deployments. VMWARE please fix this!!!
