    Setup:
    OS X 10.11.2 host
    Parallels 11.1.2 (recently installed the x.x.2 update)
    Windows 10 guest
    Coherence mode; Host/Guest integration turned on
    VM is hosted on an external SSD connected via the USB3 interface
    2014 MBPr; 16GB ram
    2x external monitors via DisplayPort/Thunderbolt

    Situation:
    Running Win10 in coherence mode with the primary monitor being one of the external displays. Allow OS X to enter sleep mode. Wake up OS X via keyboard. Enter password to log in. Win10 prompts for password to log in (on external monitor). Use mouse to click on password field (this works and the field lights up to indicate keyboard focus has changed). Try to type. Most of the time nothing happens on screen. Sometimes the screen flashes white and makes a "error beep" sound for each key pressed.

    Workaround:
    Open an OS X word processor (notes, stickies, TextWrangler). Type a few characters (this works). Go back to the Win10 login screen and type password. This now works and am able to log in.
