I updated my host OS, guest OS and Parallels Desktop: Guest OS: Sonoma 14.4 Host OS: Sonoma 14.4 (Intel-based iMac) Parallels Dekstop: 19.3.0 and found that the keyboard started repeating space characters or newlines like crazy even though I just pressed the key a few times. Caps lock also turns on in the guest OS randomly when I land on an editable text field (in an editor or in a browser). I worked around the "repeat" issue by turning repeat off completely in System Settings, but the Caps lock problem remains. It's almost as if the guest OS is receiving some kind of "noise" from the keyboard. Anyone experiencing the same? I turned off "keyboard for gaming" but there's no difference. Thanks

I thought it was just me, but same problems here. I disabled caps lock in both guest and host, and the random caps lock problem seems to be gone for me. I.e. Settings... -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys -> Caps Lock -> No action I did not have the key repeat problem until today, several days after the update and struggling with the caps lock problem. I will try your solution to disable the repeat completely in Settings.
