PD8 - Remote Desktop no longer goes into full screen mode / other video issues

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!
