    Hi,
    I have upgraded Parallels Desktop for Mac from 10 to 12. There is no option to switch off MacOS full screen control option in version 12. Therefore I can't assign Parallels Desktop to constant desktop in order to define keyboard shortcut as it is described in Article ID: 118730.

    Hi @PrbInz
    Are you trying to turn off OS X Full Screen in Parallels Desktop 12 ? Looks like from the screenshot you haven't unchecked "Use OS X Full Screen". Please provide us a detailed description,we'll check and help you out.

    I would like to uncheck "Use OS X Full Screen" if you will help me to find it in version 12 :)

    Hi PrbInz,
    The " Use Mac OS X Full Screen" option mentioned in this article has been changed as " Optimize Full screen for games " which is available on same screen and option ( Virtual Machine -> Configure -> Options -> Full Screen > Optimize Full screen for games . Uncheck " Optimize Full screen for games " and perform steps outlined at our article. Let us know how it goes. Thanks.

    HI,
    I have tried this option. Maybe this option really changes something in playing games in the full screen mode in virtual machine but it doesn't provide the same functionality as it was in version 10 and described in the article. This was one of the main reasons for me to choose Parallels Desktop as virtual platform - ability to assign keyboard shortcut and easily switch between virtual desktops. This was just removed without any visible reason.

    I have similar but related problem, in that, particularly in the absence of any reasoning from Parallels, the removal of 'Active Screen Corners' is very unsatisfactory to me in the Parallels 12 update - enough to make me consider rolling back to v11 and/or requesting to get my money back and look for a different tool.

    When I go full screen (with the OS X little Green window control), I get logged out of Mac OS X. HUGE BUG! Anyone else?
    (rMBP 2014, Sierra, PD12, Ubuntu Desktop VM.)

    Hi Guys, please be informed that Parallels Desktop 12 Update 1 (12.1.0-41489) was released. Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest build. Latest version always available here: www.parallels.com/directdownload/pd12 Please note that Parallels Tools also needs to be updated (Actions > Update Parallels Tools) and let us know how it works. Thanks!

    I am already on the latest PD12 Build and this is where I am seeing the OSX Crash.
