    Hi,

    I'm running Parallels 8.0.18494 on OS X 10.8 and have a problem with coherence mode when working with multiple user accounts. Only the first user who starts Parallels can access coherence mode. I can reproduce the problem on my iMac (Late 2012) and my MacBook Air (Mid 2012) by performing the following steps:

    • Quit Parallels Desktop
    • Log into another user account and start Parallels Desktop (you don't have to start a VM)
    • Log back into your normal user account and start a Windows VM (I tried Win7 and Win8)
    • Open a Windows program and enable coherence mode
    • The program appears in the dock but you can't access it. In mission control the program label appears, but the program itself is invisible

    When I hover above the program in mission control, it looks like this:

    My parallels.log file also contains some errors when the bug occurs:

    Can anyone reproduce this issue?

    Thank you for your help!

    Greetings
    Felix

    the problem still occurs for me with the latest Parallels version 8.0.18608. Can anyone reproduce this issue?

    I had this issue and went back to version 7. I had to upgrade to version 9 for Mavericks and now I have the same problem as before. Only on users account can be in coherence mode.

    Same here. I'm using Parallels Desktop 9 + Mavericks.

    Recently, I added user account for my wife. Coherence mode is not working after that. The window from guest OS is invisible.

    Can't I use coherence mode with multiple user account? :(
