    I've found several bugs when using VMs in full screen mode with Parallels Desktop 8 (build 18100):

    • If the VM list window is closed while a VM is in Mac OS X full screen mode then sometimes the menu bar will no longer appear when moving the mouse to the top of the screen after releasing input.
    • When in full screen mode with "Scale to fit screen" set to "Auto", the guest screen resolution is changed to the host screen resolution when unpausing which often messes up games that run in full screen.
    • Require password to exit full screen mode does not work correctly at all. The menu bar and Dock remain visible, the keyboard shortcut to exit full screen mode is ignored, the option in the menu bar to exit full screen mode is disabled and it is still not possible to exit full screen mode even after the require password to exit full screen mode option is disabled. The only way to exit full screen once in full screen mode with that option enabled is to force quit Parallels Desktop.
    • While in full screen mode with the "Use Mac OS X Full Screen" option not selected, it is possible to use Mission Control to move the VM display to a different space. However if the VM display is moved to a different space and then the VM is selected from the VM list then the VM display will be brought to the space it was originally in and if it was originally in the same space that the VM list is currently in then it will turn black until full screen mode is exited.

    Also in PD7 it was possible to use Mac OS X full screen mode without having the Dock pop up when moving to the edge of the screen if "Active Screen Corners" was selected in the full screen configuration. Unfortunately in PD8 the Dock will continue to show up even if "Active Screen Corners" is selected. It would be much appreciated if an option was added to keep the Dock hidden, or if the PD7 behavior was restored to PD8.
