It's not a button anymore, and if I open any other application, the 'ghost button' gets replaced by the new app's button, but it looks to me like something is wrong in the video driver. But when I close any application, the right most button doesn't get replaced by a blank space. With XFCE, like Gnome, at the top of the screen is a panel that contains a bunch of things, including a button for each running application. Not sure what the smart mouse feature is, I suspect it's only relevant to Windows, making the popup message misleading and meaningless.ģ) Closing applications doesn't remove the right most entry on the top panel. It encourages me to edit the settings again, visit the options tab, and look under some option that doesn't actually appear to exist on my system. If I pick 'optimize for gaming', then when I power on the VM, I get a popup complaining that I don't have 'smart mouse' enabled.

There is a menu in there where I am permitted to change the mouse from 'Optimize for gaming', 'Don't optimize for gaming', and 'auto-select'. Then try to scroll only 10 lines down or up.Ģ) While trying to solve #1, the scrolling speed problem, I tried edit the VMs settings mouse/touchpad section.

To reproduce, install Debian 11 (or Fedora 34) with XFCE, install Parallel tools, reboot, login, fire up the Firefox browser, and go to any website that has a really long page, or uses infinite scroll, such as Reddit or Twitter.

The default X11 mouse driver seems to work just fine, so I'm not even sure what benefits the Parallels Tools prlmouse driver is supposed to provide. After much experimentation, I was finally able to work around this by editing /etc/X11//nf and commenting out the 6 line InputClass section to disable the Parallel Tools prlmouse X11 driver, and rebooting. Moving my fingers a fraction of an inch scrolls like 100-200 lines down/up the page. I also tried Fedora 34 (installed from ISO), and ran into the same problems.ġ) two finger scrolling on my Magic Trackpad is accelerated so much it's completely unusable. These issues do not occur on my x86_64 laptop running the same exact same software natively, so I doubt it's a problem with the distro.

I installed (from the ISO) Debian 11 Linux with XFCE4 in a VM, and ran into a few issues. I bought Parallels 17 to run Linux VMs on my M1 Mac.
