PD8 - Mouse pointer disappearing?

[Sponch@web.de]

yo dogs - solution:

1) in onenote goto: File -> options -> advanced ->
2) uncheck the checkbox: "automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing, and panning"
3) enjoy the solution to a problem that has haunted many for years.

ps: Parallels, i really love your software and have also been haunted by this for a while. So i do use this vm religiously and have worked like crazy to find this so i just thought i ask: If this really does fix most people problems can i have a free upgrade to the next parallels? You guys are the best!

youre my hero of the day!!! Thanks so much!!!

I've also struggled with this problem with OneNote 2013 and Parallels 9. So frustrating!!!

You're definitly worth a free upgrade!

Simple Solution

In Parallels Desktop 9:

Shut down the VM. Then...

1. Configure Virtual Machine
2. Hardware
3. Mouse and Keyboard

De-select MOUSE POINTER STICKS AT WINDOWS EDGES

And the mouse won't get stuck in Coherence windows. Seems it would be simple for Parallels engineers to fix this obvious bug as this feature should be automatically disabled in Coherence mode. Based on the above discussion it seems that they don't know what's going on.... Or maybe I'm missing something...

Go to the parallels menu (two red bars), and click on "Actions"->"Reinstall parallel tools". It will ask for the root password in the VM, and reinstall the software tools. This fixed the issue for me.
