    OS X 10.10, PD 10.0.2 (27712).

    When I press the little green circle in the top left of the Parallels Desktop window, expecting it to maximize that window, instead it sets Parallels to Full Screen, which is not what I wanted, nor what I asked it to do. There is an explicit "Enter Full Screen" menu command that I could use if I wanted. I want to maximize the window, not go Full Screen.

    I've searched the forums (fora?) to no avail, as well as surfed the menus, also to no avail. Has anyone else run into this, as in, 1) is it as Parallels intended, and if so, how do I instruct/configure it to do otherwise, or 2) is this "feature" unique to me, and I should report it to Parallels?

    This is not a bug in Parallels -- It's the new standard behavior in Yosemite.

    @Kirk_Gray, thanks.

    Everyone else, you can overcome this, should you choose to be a Troglodyte/Luddite like me, by holding down the "option" key while pressing the little green circle button (officially called the "Zoom" button, I think).
