Can't resize app windows vertically past 50% of display height

Hi,
With Windows 10 (all patches), and latest version of Parallels 11, sometimes I can't resize windows vertically more than 50% of the screen height when in coherence mode.

I can *move* windows below 50%, but I can't resize them to be taller than that. It's *roughly* the same height as my laptops display -- which is connected to an external display and closed in clamshell mode.

I thought in a patch, but reviewing the release notes for all the patches, I don't notice anything.

Example repro:
a) Come to Mac
b)Launch Windows app
c) App launches
d) move mouse to the bottom of the app window, and try to drag lower using click->drag

Mouse changes to the double headed arrow, but can't actually resize window larger (can make smaller)

Yours,
Dominic
 
Hi DominicH, Try to configure the display settings in Parallels by changing it to scaled mode from retina by referring to this article & check how it goes.
 
This is not a retina device (MacBook Air), and there doesn't seem to be an option like this anywhere in parallels 11 -- I'm assuming to should be under "Graphics" (Vs "Video" in the linked KB article).

More details:
a) MacBook Air
b) Display is connected over thunderbolt/display port
c) MacBook Air is running in clamshell mode
d) Doesn't happen all the time -- if I reboot the VM, it's fine.

Seems to happen when unplugging / replugging the external display.

Hi @DominicH, refer to this article.
 
I don't want it to stretch; I have a 30" monitor, so when it stretches it'll look weird. Or, the other way around -- it'll be squished real small.
