MacBook 12" (2015) Parallels desktop icon broken on external monitor
I am running Parallels 10 on a MacBook 12" (2015) with OSX Yosemite with a Plugable 3 external monitor setup, using two HP Compaq LA2306x displays. The DisplayLink drivers are version 2.5.1.
Parallels creates a Virtual Disk icon on the Mac Desktop [C: Windows]. This icon is scalable normally, but when the external display(s) are selected as primary displays (instead of the laptop display), the icon turns into a broken icon/white page at a scale larger than 32x32 (normal is 60x60). This turning into a white icon does not occur when the MacBook is chosen as primary display and one ore more secondary displays are connected. However, it does occur when one of the external displays are chosen as primary display in the Mac settings AND there are two external displays connected, or if a connected single display uses the HDMI port to connect via a HDMI to DVI cable to an external display, when using the 4K HDMI outlet.
This desktop turning empty does not occur with any other desktop icon on the Mac desktop (regardless of choice of primary display) or any icon on the windows desktop (through Parallels) on either display. The work around is to chose the MacBook 12 as primary display.
Any thoughts? Any improvements or known issues between Parallels and DisplayLink drivers?
