I am running a Windows 8 VM using Office 2013 OneNote in coherence mode. Sometimes OneNote hides the mouse cursor (for example when typing into a text area). Once it is hidden I cannot get it to display again! This is not an issue when running in single window mode, but I really prefer to be in coherence mode. I can't seem to find a place to report this issue; is the preferred method simply e-mailing support?

- Start date
Same issue
im experiencing the same issue on my config.
Parallels Desktop 8.0.18314
Windows 8 RTM
Office 2013 RTM
mouse pointer disapears on OneNote and Outook (sometimes).
I must click outside of Windows application to recover the pointer.
I'm using an external monitor in extended mode. I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall parallels tools
Please fix-it!
Thank you.

Ribbon Menu Issue, too
I've been experiencing the mouse-pointer-disappearing-under-coherence-mode issue too.
Also, if the Ribbon Menu in OneNote is not collapsed, then clicking it simply opens and closes it quickly, rather than remaining open long enough to make a selection. Of course, configuring OneNote to "Collapse the Ribbon" (right-click a menu, select "Collapse Ribbon") is a work-around, not a fix for what appears to be buggy behaviour.
I'm using:
- Parallels Desktop 8.0.18354
- Office 2013 (up-to-date)
- Windows 8 Pro (up-to-date)
- OS X 10.8.2, iMac 2011, 16GB Ram (4GB allocated to Windows VM)

Fixed it
Pointer trails work, but there is a better solution.
Go to Windows control panel > mouse > pointer options > disable "Hide pointer while typing". While it will still disappear, it will come back immediately when you move the mouse now.
================
UPDATE: Well, okay, that still wasn't the full fix it first appeared to be. But this is: in OneNote 2013, go to File > Options > Advanced Options. In the Pen section, uncheck "Automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing and panning".
