Hi, Firstly, great job!!! Parallels is one of the most impressive pieces of software I've ever used. I've read the FAQs and searched extensively but cannot find a solution to the problem I am facing. When I use coherence mode the windows screen real-estate is incorrectly scaled so that only part of Windows' windows menubars are accessible when maximized. (1) Could you please fix parallels so that Windows' windows are restricted to the desktop below the Mac menubar? If you were able to achieve this, it would be much easier for me to sell the concept of Parallels to my coworkers who routinely work across two computers. I want to tell them it works perfectly, but this wouldn't be true given the major disruptions this glitch has causes when I'm quickly shifting from using one program to another. (2) When in full screen mode, could you allow users to switch directly to coherence when they right click the parallels icon or via a shortcut? These changes would greatly enhance the user experience with only limited coding needed on your part.
Problem Report: 20744256 I'm a little disappointed by the lack of support. On the other hand, parallels is a pretty great product so I imagine they're working on it. No on else facing this issue?
Hi Simplify, Please try the steps in this KB article and see if helps: http://kb.parallels.com/114694 Andrew
We have upgrade from PD6 to PD9 today and unfortunately; I am still facing the same issue and with the kb article, in PD9 I don't have those options for bigger text, etc. I hope there's someone who could redirect me to the solution.
This is still an issue in Parallels Build 8.0.18619 on OS X 10.9.3 (13D65) The Windows title bar is hidden behind the OS X menu bar. The KB article referred above does not apply to this issue and does not fix it.
This is still an issue in Parallels Desktop 16.1.0 (48950) Pro, "Coherence" mode. The Windows title bar is hidden behind the OS X menu bar.
(adding to earlier issue) The error is fundamentally because MS-Windows defines the top-most area "available" but macOS defines the same area "used by menu bar". If MS-Windows draws the window object, it will do exactly as observed. If macOS drew the window object, it would avoid that area. Therefore I think that Parallels is using MS-Windows to draw on the macOS screen. Amending Parallels to use macOS to draw the objects would be (a) costly, (b) radical but (c) a damn good idea.
Hi, it is Nov-22 and the problem still stands. Reinstalled parallels tool, but the problem comes back as soon as I re-login, after MacBook went to sleep or simply logged off after timeout.
Not perfect, but, install that app (on Windows): Aerial | Claim desktop spaces (chrisandriessen.nl) (it's free from GitHub, or paid from AppStore), then, reserve 1 pixel at top. Done.
