Anomalies with Coherence

[grmensz]

When running Coherence on my multiple screen set up, there are a number of anomalies, especially after computer comes out of sleep.

1 - there is a square are of the Windows desktop appearing on screen that is actually live and the icons can be activated.

2 - the Window taskbar doesn't know where to go. I am setup for Parallel to use multiple screens, but sometimes the taskbar is on the primary screen, other times it stretches across both screens.

3 - windows can sometimes be dragged across screen (when the taskbar is on both screens) and other times cannot.

Just strange and inconsistent. Note that toggling the "Exclude Dock" option in the Coherence settings triggers a lot of this.

Make sure that you use the latest build 3844.408822 and reinstall Parallels Tools

I have the currently available build 4.0.3844.408728 not the slightly newer build you are referencing.

I reinstalled tools and, upon restart, the little window disappeared. I'll see how this goes.

Thanks!

Well, the little window disappeared. But, upon returning with the system on screen saver, the taskbar was initially on the main screen only and I could not drag a Windows app window to the second screen. Then when I switched Mac apps, the taskbar suddenly jumped across both screens, and the Windows Excel window jumped to the other screen. I was able to drag the Windows app window across screens.

This is unpredictable.
