    After updating to Parallels 8, I've come across some weirdness in the video when using coherence:

    - Open up any windows application, and the background images show through or the windows app image is a scattered, multi-colored mess.
    - When opening any remote desktop the window always forces a downsized frame adding the scroll bars top and bottom. I have double-checked, and the Remote Desktop display options are asking for full screen. When I click the 'maximize' icon in the upper right, it tries to go full screen. I then get nothing but a mess of scrambled screen images and end up having to 'x' out of the program.

    These worked just fine in PD7, and I only upgraded to 8 because I upgraded my Mac to Mountain Lion 10.8...

    Any suggestions? And working in PD8 without coherence is not a fix - it's a PIA workaround.

    Also, this is a regular Samsung 23" monitor on a Mac mini.. no retina display.

    Thanks!
