Running macOS Ventura as guest OS, menu names in menu bar are missing

In a freshly downloaded macOS Ventura VM, menu names are missing from the menu bar, as shown in the attached screenshot. The clock and icons at the right end of the menu bar are visible, though.

The VM has 24 GB of memory and six cores assigned to it. The host Mac, also running Ventura, has plenty of resources left over.

I haven't been able to find an existing post about this issue. Is there a solution for it?

Not limited to external displays or Apple Silicon. I'm also getting this issue on an Intel iMac with only a built-in display.
 
Still partly an issue in Parallels Desktop 19. Please help, Parallels.
When macOS's Reduce transparency accessibility setting is turned on, menu names are still invisible.
When the setting is turned off, menu names are visible but dimmed, as if the pointer is on a different display, making them hard to read.

Hello!
In order to proceed with further investigation, kindly provide us with the below information:

Thank you!
 
So Parallels did you fix this ?
I'm on 19.3 and have the exact same issue.

As a really long customer of parallels it saddens me to see the quality of this software down the drain.
