Gray box showing up when running coherence

I am running Windows 11 on PD18 in coherence mode. Periodically throughout the day, a large gray box will show up for about 10-30 seconds covering the left half my desktop. It looks and feels like parallels is trying to show a window, but nothing is shown. When I switch out of coherence, the box goes away. Is there any guidance as to what could be causing this? It seems to have started all of a sudden - without a change to my parallels configuration, installed version, or windows configuration.

 

Same here.
I'm using coherence mode 100% of the time.. Windows 11 is running in the background, and set to sleep when not in use (maybe it's related?).
Every once in a while when I open a Windows program (even just the windows file explorer) I will also get this unclickable gray box window that covers about 33% of my screen (left side) for a few seconds, until it disappears by itself.

 

i've got the same thing out of nowhere on my new m2 max 14" macbook pro. it's really annoying.

 

Hello,
Thank you a lot for bringing this issue up!
Kindly reproduce the issue again and collect a fresh technical report right at the moment of reproduction as per KB https://kb.parallels.com/9058 . Send me the 9-digit number here, please.

 

Thank you, very hard to replicate this issue as it just randomly happens.

not sure if it will pick it up or not, i may have done the report too slow, but i just hit the start button and the gray box came up.

 

Thanks a lot, Jason!
Unfortunately, there is no screenshots in the report, so we can't see what you observe and it's been taken a bit late.
Would you reproduce it once again and collect it this way:
- once the issue is reproduced, click the Parallels Desktop icon on the top Mac menubar > Help > Send technical data > click 'Attach screenshots and other files' > Send?

 

I'm getting the same thing on a 2020 macbook pro w/intel proc. A gray box on the left side of the screen which appears randomly. Random meaning it can't be reproduced at will and is not allowing a screenshot. It seems to be happening to others...any ideas on when a fix will be available.

 

419712119 ...that's the nunber given by the send tech report, I included a screen shot in that and I'm including the same one here.

 

I'm having the same issue - In Coherence all day long and this grey box randomly pops up at least 5 times a day. Sometimes without event interacting with Mac OS.

 

i am having the same problem. very frustrating

 

I am having the same issue

 

Same here. It's getting really annoying. I will try to grab a screenshot.

 

Same Herr.

 

I am getting the same issue with M2 MacBook Pro and Parallels running Windows 11. The gray box appears temporarily when opening a new Windows application

 

Same here, waiting for a solution to this issue. Couldn't manage to get a screenshot so far, the appearance of the grey box being too much erratic.

 

I have a same issue. The gray box show up continuously at regular intervals.

 

Anybody listening to theses complaints at Parallels?

 

Same issue here.
