Maximized window obscures title bar

chuckkahn · Sep 29, 2013

Since upgrading to Parallels 9, title bars get hidden when windows are maximized in Windows 7. Like this:

There should be a blue bar (since I use the Classic theme Windows 7) with the title "Control Panel" on it. This did not happen in Parallels 8.

Running 9.0.23062.

I have had this problem for a while. Happens for me in both v8 and v9. Haven't found a solution, yet.

Any news about this issue, I have the same on prl 8 and prl 9. Both with XP or 7. It's really annoying.

I'm still stuck with it, myself. I'm on Mavericks with dual monitors and I have noticed that this only happens on monitor 2. Maximized windows on monitor 1 work as expected.

Does the problem exist with Windows 8?

I've tested Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, and Server 2012 and I've had the issue with all of them.
