    Hi everyone,
    a few version ago Exposé worked wonderfully with Coherence. If i had any app in front i could do my thing and get a window which held Parallels. Ok, fine, i could not break all the windows within the parallels App the same as with other mac apps.. but i accepted that.

    If i had parallels as my frontmost application i could still use my "hot corners" to activate it. I could use my hot keys (F keys).

    However, this functionality (at least on my system) has been lost. Now... while i can live with the windows within Parallels.app not being exposé-able, i cannot deal with Parallels failing to conform to my exposé commands.

    The same behaviour is observed when parallels is on Fullscreen... now this makes sense to me.. not the ideal behaviour, but i can live with it.

    When parallels.app is on windowed mode exposé works like a charm....

    Now my question is....Is this a bug / feature / TB fixed next update?

    Thanks
    Fabs

    I have the exact same problem. In Coherence mode Exposé shortcuts on my mouse and keyboard and any function key shortcuts do not work MOST of the time. Then, for some unknown reason they'll start working again, then stop. This happens when Parallels is NOT the active application, but just open in my Dock. If I'm actually using Parallels then these things also happen, but not in a consistent way. I'm still trying to figure out the pattern, if one exists.

    Oh, and copy and pasting between Windows and Mac is also acting strange/inconsistent (using both CMD and Ctrl). And Alt/Option Tab within Parallels/Windows works, but CMD Tab does not bring up my Mac Application switcher.

    It seems the latest version has brought all this on.

    Is there a fix for this yet?

    Turning off "Universal Access for Assistive Devices" worked perfectly!

    Thanks again!
