there's been lots of reports of issues with Coherence Mode with Windows 8 & PD7 and PD8 on Mountain Lion. I'd like to start a new thread with my specific issues, issues I've had since ML was released i.e. months and months.
Description of Issue - Relevant to running in Coherence mode with multiple DESKTOPS/SPACES
This has been tested with PD7 and PD8 with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All running on OS X Mountain Lion (which is where the problem started as Snow leopard and Lion were/are OK)
1. When working in an App (doesnt even need to be a Mac App) and then select a 'Windows App', either from Dock, Windows Taskbar or CTRL+TAB, the Windows App does not come to focus when the Windows App is on another DESKTOP/SPACE.
2. However the 'Mac App' loses its focus
Note 1: It does switch correctly if the 'Windows App' is on same DESKTOP/SPACE
Note 2: If you have the Windows task bar displayed in Coherence mode, you see the focus go to the App on the task bar but the DESKTOP/SPACE doesn't switch
Note 3: Even with the Windows App highlighted on the task bar, even if you click it, it remains on the DESKTOP/SPACE its in rather than switching to the DESKTOP/SPACE the Windows App is actually in.
So basically if you want to switch to a Windows App that is running in a different DESKTOP/SPACE to the App you are switching from it does not go there (or more to the point it does, it just does not switch DESKTOPS/SPACES )
BTW it does work to any Mac Apps i.e. Windows App back to Mac App works across DESKTOPS/SPACES
Hope thats clear Parallels
