I'm using the built in Gnome Remote Desktop using Wayland in Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) and remoting using Windows 11's Remote Desktop Connection. For some reason the first time I attempt to connect to Gnome Remote Desktop after exiting, I receive an error stating: "Remote Desktop can't find the computer [server]. This might mean that [server] does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to."
The weird thing is when I "ok" the error and click connect a second time, it always works immediately and no errors occur.
Here is a visual gif representation of the issue that occurs every time, you can recreate it by clicking 'x' in remote desktop connection, reconnecting and getting an error, clicking okay, and immediately being able to reconnect to the server:

I ran journalctl --user-unit gnome-remote-desktop.service --no-pager to try and pull some error logs and came to a few conclusions.
- A series of errors occur the moment I hit the close button in Remote Desktop that ends in connect transport failed.

I'm assuming that during the initial closing of the connection by clicking 'x' in windows remote desktop connect it is either sending an incorrect tpkt header somewhere or something is failing to close the connection that causes the 3389 port to stay occupied until another connection request (that fails) refreshes/disconnects the bugged connection, allowing the second connection attempt to go through?
Is anyone else aware of this issue, know of a fix, or have any ideas on where else to start troubleshooting for a fix?
