    Also pleased to report I've been running the update for a few days and have had 0 issues. No gray box, no graphical issues, just perfection. You guys are awesome. I'm sorry some of you are still having issues - this seems like a tough problem to figure out.

    Unfortunately the grey box issue is mitigated but not fixed. Being a software developer I'm working most of time in PowerShell/Terminal using Coherence mode and after some hours a smaller GrayBox appear. What is interesting is that when I close PowerShell/Terminal it disappear!

    Hello,

    Today we released Parallels Desktop 18.3.1 update in which this issue has been fixed.

    Please update Parallels Desktop to the latest version and let us know if you encounter the issue.

    Thanks Pavel. I have been using the updated version for 3-4 days. in Outlook, coherence mode, when I try to reply to an email, 95% of the time the reply window jumps behind the main Outlook window in less than one second. At that point the only way to access the newly created reply window is to either minimize Outlook or right-click the Outlook icon in the dock and select the reply window instead of the main window. Approximately 5% of the time, the reply window works properly. Also, still showing random grey sections, screenshot attached.

    I Confirm: Bug mitigated but present. What is bad is performance: using Parallels as C++ Developers (MSVC 2022), I lost 20% of compile speed simply updating Paralles... This is not nice

    I continue to have same ISSUE with Parallels Desktop 19!! Any news?!?! This bug is not new one: is old, affects many users (that pay license) and no one is fixing it!!
    Please give us not interim answer but WHEN bug is fixed! You just need to open a Terminal in Windows to get the gray box!

    Hi Alessandro89, I updated to v19 yesterday but did not have any problems so far, that is, no grey box.

    I have used the update for a few days. It appears to have finally resolved my issues which were:
    1. Random grey boxes appearing, of differing shapes and sizes.
    2. Outlook email reply and forward windows not displaying properly.
