    dear all,
    I have an issue with resolution settings in parallels 8 with windows. I suddenly started to have such issue when I first upgraded from parallels 7. In coherence mode the windows have some weird behaviour, displaying a grey background and not really following the actual frame of the window. I attach few pictures of the issue of a window displaying in coherence mode..

    I really hope that somebody of you have a solution because I can´t work effectively with parallels anymore..
    Thank you and best regards,
    Dario

    forgot to mention: macbook pro with retina display

    Also, I attach more self-explanatory pictures of the phenomena..
    the two screenshots shows two windows opened in coherence mode, and dragged around.
    The contour of the window does not match and does not follow the contour (grey), created by parallels.
    Really hope that anybody is aware of the problem and can suggest a solution. ...

    We ALL have been having this issue since PDM7 and Mountain Lion. We ALL have sent in "reports" and we ALL have had no resolution since July. I too was told if I upgraded to PDM8, the problem was fixed, but it has not. Just a "money drop".

    To me it worked fine until I decided to upgrade to parallels 8.
    Then I started to have issues of resolution (programs does not scale nicely anymore), and the off-centered windows in coherence mode.
    Now even downgrading to parallels 7 the problem persist.
    Therefore I upgraded to parallels 8 again.
    I hope this can be solved soon. It makes the product not usable anymore.
    Regards,
    Dario
