RC2 Clipboard bug?
My wife and I use English and Chinese both on our Macs and on our virtual Windows machines but the clipboard integration of Parallels Desktop for Mac doesn't seem to be able to support anything but 1-byte characters. So, if I copy or cut Chinese text on the Mac and then hop into a Windows virtual machine I am unable to paste the text from the clipboard. I've tried the old 'Select All' and change the font trick and that won't do it. I think the clipboard is jumbling the text because it can't handle multi-byte characters. Does the clipboard use Unicode for transition?

This might be minor for some but for us this renders Parallels useless because we can't work in both computers at once when that was the point of using an 80 dollar virtual machine rather than Apple's free dual boot option.

Thanks for any fix or help with this.
