    I'm on my last day of the trial, and the main thing that is holding me back is an odd behaviour with full screen applications.

    When running in Coherence mode, if I try to run an application full screen, in particular Remote Desktop Connection, it doesn't work correctly. It will start to work, moving it to it's own workspace, and then will resize itself and will no longer be full screen.

    It feels like this is a bug in the Parallel tools? Is this something recognised as not working and being fixed?

    So am I the only one experiencing this?

    I too get this. I think its a known issue that they are working on but no sign of update yet

    I have the exact same issue. I've captured the behaviour and posted it to YouTube:

    It would be great to see a fix, because this is thoroughly annoying.

    There's an option to control full screen apps' behavior in coherence:
    VM Configuration > Options > Coherence > Allow applications to switch to full screen

    Thank you! That's an acceptable workaround until this gets fixed.
