    Sorry for the awkwardly worded subject!

    When using a Mac app, if I leave my mouse idle for a few seconds and there's a Windows window in the same spot, behind the current application, sometimes Parallels will come to the front.

    But the behaviour doesn't seem to be consistent.

    Is there a way for me to turn it off? I don't see anything in either the Windows or Mac mouse preferences, and nothing in Parallels preferences.

    If I can't turn it off, can I at least predict when it's going to happen?

    Hello,

    what is your Parallels build (top menu->Parallels Desktop->About Parallels Desktop)? What is your Guest OS? Do you have Parallels Tools installed? If no, please, install them through top menu Actions->Install Parallels Tools.

    And yes, I have Tools installed (this problem is happening in Coherence mode, after all)

    Hello,

    so, try to reinstall them: first, go to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs and delete Tools, reboot and install them again from the Actions menu, please. Will it solve the issue?

    Nope. Are you saying this functionality is not expected?

    Hello,

    no, this is an odd behaviour, it should work well. Please, try to check Configuration Editor->Coherence. Is "Group all Coherence windows" checked? If it is, please, uncheck it.
