lose control of bluetooth mouse

I have PD8 and a new iMac.

I wanted to install a firmware update for an external USB3 device which requires the install in Windows. When I tried to allow Windows 7 (via Parallels) to access the drive, I mistakenly clicked on Bluetooth in the menu. It took control of the mouse away from the MAC OS, but doesn't take control in Windows either. I am frozen.

I can force quit PD8, but every time it starts up it reverts back to controlling the bluetooth. So essentially I can't use any of my PD installs!

Yes I know that. But I couldn't make changes to the config while the VM was running. But to get it to shut down requires the mouse.

I basically got it to work by using tab keys and other nonsense. But I can't believe Parallels allows this to happen without an easy hot-key to disconnect from Bluetooth.
