Windows dialog boxes hidden

Since the last update, the only way to get a dialog to popup over its parent app is to either exit coherence or right-click on the app-icon and click on the checked app. This is a real hassle as I need coherence to work efficiently. I work between Mac app and Windows app and do not want to bounce in and out of coherence to work. This is a real deal breaker for me.
 
I'm running a Mac mini M2 OS 26.6.1, Parallels 27.02, Windows 11 Pro 25H2, and WordPerfect Office Standard 2021. While in coherence mode, WordPerfect appears to freeze every time I try to activate a command from a pull down menu (e.g., File > Save As... or Tools > Settings > Customize). No dialog box appears, and I can't enter any data with the keyboard or mouse. I did some experimenting, and learned that if I launch task manager and immediately hit the cancel option, the dialog box for the command I'm trying activate immediately appears, after which I'm able to enter data and continue with my work. I assume my problem is akin to what others are describing in this thread. I appreciate any help or insight anyone has to offer. Thanks.

I used to live constantly in Coherence mode, for years at a time.

Now it's all gone to SH%^ and I have to pop in and out several times a day, because of orphaned / lost dialogues.

Please fix it!
 
Same issue here on Parallels Desktop 27.0.2 (build 58673), Apple silicon Mac, macOS Tahoe 26.6.2, Windows 11 ARM VM in Coherence mode. The backup dialog of Lexware FinanzManager 2027 appears briefly and then jumps behind the main window. Workaround: hide/unhide the app via the Dock, or press Cmd+Tab twice.

Staff has confirmed the bug here, with a fix announced for an upcoming update: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...behind-current-window-in-parallels-27.370688/

Any ETA for the fix would be appreciated.
 
Here too, the Dialog Boxes are still in the Background (MS Outlook, Word, Excel). Patching to 27.02. doesn't fix the Bug. Apple Silicon M5, macOS 27.01, Windows 11 ARM VM in Coherence Mode.
