    I have an odd problem, and don't know how to get enough information to help Parallels solve it. My setup is PD 4.0.3844. The VM is CentOS 5.3. In that VM, I'm running ModelSim 6.5a, which builds its interface using Tcl/Tk, probably 8.4. I have installed Parallels Tools in the VM. If I have the mouse/keyboard auto capture service running, drag and drop doesn't work in ModelSim; specifically I cannot get the drop to happen. If I turn off auto capture, it works fine.

    It's a minor annoyance to have to turn that service off, but if anyone can suggest some tests that might help narrow down the problem, I'd be happy to run them. And perhaps this post will help someone else work around a similar problem.

    Best,
    David
