    Parallels team: amazing progress on the app, can I buy stock?

    That said, some hopefully helpful notes: Build 3306 has some mouse issued, for myself anyway. I ended up rolling back to 1970. Problem was once parallels tools was installed (after full tools uninstall under 1970) the mouse sync tool failed on screen resize. Any attempt to change screen resolution caused the mouse to simple reset to screen center, then only creep down and right on any mouse movement. Strangely I was able to move the mouse around the mac desktop just fine at the same time, but as soon as I was inside the Parallels window, the mouse went back to a slow sideways creep.

    Anyone else experience anything similar?

    I'm on a Macbook Pro (10.4.8), 2GB RAM, running winXP SP2 with 700MB RAM allocated to XP.

    Thanks for your help.

    I've got the same problem. However, I have found that If I don't resize the window, the mouse works fine. It's only on a resize operation that the mouse centers and then creeps down to the lower right corner with any movement of the mouse. If I need to do a resize, I do it, then use the kb to restart the VM

    I'm on 10.4.8, 1.5GB RAM, XPSP2 with 512 RAM
    Using Logitech USB mouse

    Mouse Bug persisting to 3094

    Looks like the mouse sync issue isn't fixed in the next build either. I like to beta but I guess I can't anymore - takes too much time having to roll back to a stable release.

    Anyone have any ideas on this mouse bug? Macbook Pro - looks 100% reproduceable, or at least others are seeing the exact same problems I am...

    Do not see the problem on my MacBook Pro (15")

    As soon as I launched and installed the latest Parallel Tools, I have normal operation.
