    some of this has been mentioned in other threads,
    but it doesnt seem to be getting much attention from
    the developers, so:

    copy and paste to windows (W2K in my case) is flaky.

    a) last char is dropped
    see e.g. http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=5463

    b) copying fails completely from time to time (old clipbaord contents still in clipboard);
    as a work-around, i've found that if i disable "Clipboard Synch" in the Parallel Tools dialog,
    re-enable it and clear the clipboard, then copy again, it usually works.

    (secondary symptom: clicking "Clear" in the "Clipboard Synch" section of the Parallel Tools dialog
    has no effect)



    is parallels working on this issue?

    thanks,
    eddi

    i can report that i've not had this problem since upgrading to 3188.

    there've been other issues, but hey.

    i'd like to emphasize, as others have, that it would be really. useful. if. parallels.
    mainained a list of builds that states what issues are supposed to have been
    addressed.

    thanks!
