Parallel 19 - Full screen issue

There is a bug on how Parallel 19 treats VM that uses all screens when maximized or full screen mode. When maximized, mouse over the top edge in external displays may not show the windows bar (it doesn't work for me 100% of time). The bar only shows up on my MBP's built-in display, and is not as responsive as Parallel 18.

If I successfully exited the full screen thru external display, then Parallel 19 thinks I'm still in full-screen mode, and will auto-hide Mac's application doc if VM is in focus.

I have the same issue... I've tried the full screen settings/strech and all that... any ideas what I can do?... I can see all my Mac stuff behind the windows virtual machine. The virtual machine only takes up about half of the screen and I have no maximize button
 
Your issue is different than mine. My issue was after maximized, the top bar will be hidden. Mouse over the top doesn't not bring back the top-bar 100% of time.
Based on your screenshot, it looks like it's trying to install the Parallel Tools, which is necessary to resize the VM freely.
