    Hello,

    Starts the shutdown of your Windows XP guest and switch to some other Mac application, writing a letter in Pages or in Textedit for instance. At some point, right while you are busy typing the letter, Parallels will move windows on top of yours or move the focus to the VM window. You are interrupted right in the middle of your typing in the other application. This is COMMON and the de-facto way of programming in Windows world, but this is ugly behaviour for Mac applications. It has been reported many times by many different people, with focus on different areas, but this is in the end the same old design-error (more than a bug), which has not yet been fixed after two years of Parallels Desktop versions.

    Is this behaviour at least acknowledged, confirmed, logged and considered for better design in a - not-too-far - new version ?

    Thanks,
