Hi,

I started today testing PD10 with Coherence (iMac 27", OS X 10.9.4, Guest Windows 8.1, two other monitors, Mission Control Option "Display have seperate Spaces" is ON) and first it looked promising. But after a couple of hours working the same problems occured as known for older versions of PD:

o Windows stacking is wrong. A Windows window which is behind another Windows windows cannot be put to front
o Windows windows have displaying actefact

Parallels when do think the Coherence feature will be really functional?

Hi,

today I changed the OS X setting: Mission Control Option "Display have seperate Spaces" from ON to OFF and gave PD10 Coherence mode a new try. And magically after hours of working in Coherence mode it is still functional. The before mentioned problems are gone so far. As drawback from disabling this option only the main screen has the OS X menu bar which causes a lot of mouse movements. But of course a working Coherence mode is more important.

So Parallels: There is room for improvement. Please check this out and test Coherence mode with multiple monitors while having the Mission Control Option "Display have seperate Spaces" ON.

This morning it happend again. Without changing the last setup some Windows windows are nto able to bring them to front. See attachment. The upper Explorer window is actually clicked but it remains at the back. Only the border of the other Explorer window changed to blue.

At least I could keep working in Coherence mode for two days now.

When exiting the Coherence mode to windowed mode and enabling Coherence mode again did not solve the window stacking problem.
When exiting the Coherence mode to windowed mode, enabling full screen mode change back Coherence mode DID solve the window stacking problem! I can now continue working without restarting Parallels. But this workaround forces me to rearange the windows again.

Experiencing the same problems, extremely irritating especially in outlook when your new email window's stacking doesn't work and suddenly you can't select it at all.
 
Hello!
We've just released update for Parallels Desktop 10. Could you check your problem with it?
