    When running Win 8.1 in full screen mode on a MacBook Pro, I can easily switch between MacOS and WinOS using a 4 finger swipe on the touchpad. Closing the lid and opening it on the laptop and everything will work fine. When I come home, I attach an external monitor which I have assigned as the primary monitor. Upon opening the laptop lid, the machine wakes, the MacOS appears on the external monitor as expected, but the full-screen Win desktop can either disappear to a virtual screen I cannot find (I use the "shutdown" command in the Parallels menu exit and restart which fixes the problem) or it can appear in the laptop's monitor with the Parallels menu showing at the top but with the WinOS unresponsive. (Again, the "shutdown - restart" fixes it.)

    I want to report this as an "issue" in case the Parallels developers are able to fix it or in case anyone else encounters this.

    I am very pleased with this product, BTW.
