I didn't have this issue in parallels 5 but for some reason when I go in and out of parallels (task switching) upon the return I'm getting noise injected back into the keyboard stream. OS: Windows 7-64bit How to recreate: Open a putty session to somewhere. Cmd-Tab back to OS-X Cmd-Tab back to Parallels look at garbage on the screen. If I do the following: $ vi foo hit i to insert switch back and forth hit ESC then :wq $ od -x foo 0000000 0a50 0a50 000a you will see that we're getting 0a (line feed), the letter P, line feed, P, null, line feed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, bob
