    When I run Visual Studio 2015 I get either a blank white window (if I run in Coherence) or a window with the background color of visual studio but no UI. If I click on the window I can get context and pull down menus to appear but often their contents are garbled and unusable. Anyone know of this problem or have work arounds?

    Here's the specifics of what I'm running:
    Machine: iMac Retina 27" (late 2014) with 16 GB RAM
    Parallels: Parallels Pro 11
    Windows: Windows 10 Education
    OSX: 10.10.5
    Visual Studio: Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise

    I am experiencing a similar problem with VS2015 update 3. In Coherence mode, VS2015 windows often appear totally blank (whiteout). Sometimes moving the pointer focus over the blank window induces partial paint operations, making visible some of the window content. When this occurs, window widgets may be usable. Otherwise, most of the time there is no workaround.

    Parallels 11.2.1
    Windows 7 Professional SP1
