    I have a problem where Parallels is stealing focus for no apparent reason. What happens is I will be working in a Mac app and all of a sudden Parallels will take over and switch my Space to Windows Outlook. There is an option that deals with Notifications in the VM Editor, but it is unselected. It appears that something changes in Outlook that precipitates this, although there are no dialog boxes usually (though sometimes there are.)

    What is causing Parallels to take over without me prompting it to do so?

    Hello Whardy7,

    Please check if you have the option "Bring notification window to front" enabled in Configuration Editor, Coherence section.

    Best regards,
    Xenos

    Xenos, in my message I stated that I did not have that selected. I had read up enough to know to check that.
