I just jumped into this forum because I'm desperately seeking any hint/help I can get. First things first: I don't own Parallels but I have a Mac Mini (Intel, Late 2014) from a client standing next to me that's running macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) - yes I know this is ancient - plus Parallels Desktop 12 for using a specialized business software all-in-one solution. Worked so far for him, so why change a running system?

I'm using Parallels 19.4 (please don't suggest I update to 19.4.1) under macOS 14.5. While creating new VBA content in Excel, the characters I intend to enter just once are often entered twice. This also happens when I backspace which can cause serious problems; If I select a line of code and then backspace, it may also delete the line of code above the one I intended to delete without my noticing it. I would blame it on my Apple Magic Keyboard, but the problem doesn't happen...
