Safari on Monterey 12.3 not redrawing windows inside VM

Question

Within a Parallels VM (version 17.1.2) running Monterey 12.3, dynamic browser content is not updated until you resize the browser window. This is a new issue in Monterey 12.3 (it doesn't exist in Monterey 12.2.1 or earlier - even in the same VM). Running on the native hardware doesn't have the issue - only when running within the VM environment.

A video of the behavior can be found at http://www.toonetown.com/nathan/projects/redraw.mov - in the video, text typed into the google search box doesn't display until the window is resized - causing the HTML content to reflow.

Is there some setting or something that I should make in order to cause dynamic HTML content to rerender without needing to resize the window?

Answer 1

Probably best asked in the Parallels Mac OS X Guest OS Discussion forum where there are already some posts about 12.3 rendering issues.

This appears to be another issue with Metal accelerated graphics when using the Parallels video adapter that you probably enabled to avoid the host freezes / crashes when using the Apple video adapter with the Paravirtualized Graphics framework.

prlctl set vm --video-adapter-type parallels (rendering issues with Metal accelerated graphics)

prlctl set vm --video-adapter-type apple (host freezes / crashes and sometimes full panics during VM boot with the Apple Paravirtualized Graphics framework)

Hopefully Apple and Parallels are working on the Apple Paravirtualized Graphics framework issues.

Also really hoping we see more improvements at WWDC to the Hypervisor and Virtualization frameworks for macOS on Apple Silicon.

Another data point for the Apple Paravirtualized Graphics framework issue if anyone from Apple is watching this thread.

macOS Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258) booting macOS Big Sur 11.6.5 (20G527) VM panics at what appears to be the same point as host freezes / crashes with macOS Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258) VMs.
