    snipping tool works fine on Windows mode (after opening a picture upon this the snipping tool turn the screen gray making it to be visible and can hightlight a portion and lets to take a picture but this same thing does not happen on coherence).
    when the snipping tools open in coherence the gray screen will close the picture (send back).

    i have submited a report to parallels 19177356

    Have you seen any response to this? I'm having the same issue in Windows 7 under Coherence. Worked perfectly fine in Parallels Mac 7, broken after upgrade to Parallels Mac 8.

    Hello Parallels, I just upgraded to version 14 and the windows snipping tool stopped working in coherence mode.
    The free form and rectangular snip do not work in coherence mode.
    I am running a dual monitor setup with the same MB and the same monitors for 5+ years. I update Parallels every year for the past 5 years. The snipping tool has been working fine for the past 3 to 4 versions. Now it doesn't.
    Please advise what I can do to make the free form and rectangular snip feature working in coherence mode again.
    Thanks.

    8 years after the first report of this issue and not even a response from Parallels? Glad I'm on the trial version at least...

    This is still happening on version 15.1.3, High Sierra host Windows 10 guest.

    Try the new Snip & Sketch that will replace the Snipping tool in Win 10. That was my solution.

    Same issue with Snip and Sketch, as soon as I go to draw the box to capture, the picture viewer turns grey as if it had finished but there is no picture.
