Focus problem in coherence

4.3846, 10.6.1

When cmd-tab between guest apps in coherence, the selected app shows for just a split second, then focus jumps back to the previous app.

In full screen, all is fine.

There also seems to be a shared clipboard problem; text copied from host won't show up in guest apps.

Wait, there's more, and this has been around since Parallels 3: There is some kind of lag in the way Finder sees the guest HDD. Example: I attach a file from guest HDD in mail.app, then decides to make a change to the file. I delete the attachement and attaches the newly edited file, but the old one shows up. I have to copy the file from guest HDD to Finder and attach it from there.

 

Hello,

Please try uninstalling and reinstalling Parallels Tools.

# Boot Windows in Safe Mode by hitting F8 (Fn+F8) during its boot screen.

Go to "My Computer" - "C" Drive - "Program Files" - "Parallels" folder and delete the "Parallels Tools" folder.

# Click the Windows "Start" menu -> "Run" and type "regedit". Hit OK.


# In Registry Editor, go to "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Parallels" and delete the "Parallels Tools" entry.

# Reboot Windows


# Now you can re-install Parallels Tools from the Parallels Desktop menubar when Windows is running.

 

Thank you, it looks like that helped.

If you have the time, could you please assist me with my Compressor issue?
