    Program "Pop-ups" always appear in the background in Coherence - Parallels 17

    Hello, I use a Win11 virtual machine with Parallels Desktop 17 on my Macbook Air M1. Whenever I use programs in Coherence mode, pop-ups/prompts (e.g. save as.. or other settings) appear behind the main window of the program. Is there a way to circumvent this? Cheers Philipp

    Exited Coherence, but Win apps still show in OSX dock

    The title says it all. Parallels hasn't done this to me in the past. How do I make the Windows app icons go away? I just want to be able to switch over to my Parallels app/Windows dekstop.

    Dragging / Resizing windows in Coherence mode is super laggy

    I'm using Coherence for Windows 11, generally with Stage Manager (though the same problem exists anywhere with Coherence).

    Hi all, Well, that changelog for 18.3.0 made me happy as it listed a fix for the 'Grey box' that was appearing around windows in Coherence. Guess what, it doesn't! In fact it has broken Coherence again. So apart from still getting a grey box underneath and around any popups (e.g. Clicking on...
