    Has anyone else noticed you can no longer use the parallels menu command for "start menu," click the parallels icon, or use the apple-key to show the start menu in coherence if:

    1. Relocate automatically is checked
    2. The Mac OSX dock is on the bottom?
    3. Task bar is hidden

    I'm wondering is the automatic relocation has put the start menu going up and out of the screen (unviewable) at the top.

    When unchecking relocate automatically all 3 functions return to use.

    Not an annoyance, but a potentially confusing bug?

    Hello,

    the point is that is a normal behavior for Coherence - Windows key and Start menu are available when Windows is "active" so with the first click on the Parallels icon in the dock you make Windows active and the second click calls for Start menu. It is a current design limitation so there is nothing to do with this.
