Side-Effects of Transition to Full-Screen

Hi,

When I switch the VM to full-screen mode, there appears to be a momentary state during the transition to full-screen operation when the Macintosh native display is switched to the small screen size of the guest environment after which the full-screen mode for the virtualized video adaptor is instated and the Macintosh physical video adaptor goes back to its native resolution.

The problem with this is that the momentary state during which the Macintosh video adaptor is in a small-screen configuration causes applications running in Mac OS to adapt to that new screen environment. Windows are resized and / or repositioned and on-screen widgets moved so nothing remains outside the bounds of the (temporarily) small Macintosh screen.

This is very uncool!

I'm running Beta 4 of Parallels on Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a MacBook Pro.

I hope this glitch can be addressed in the next beta of Parallels.

Thanks.

Thank you for this issue. We will try to work around this in the release.

 

I didn't know why all my safari windows were getting resized, but this makes a lot of sense.

The above problem occurred on my system as well running on a MBP.

thanks for all the great work and updates!
