Fusion 5.0.3 Unity Mode Window Focus Issue

I am having an issue with Unity Mode in Fusion 5.0.3.  It shows up in a few places, but the most annoying is in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.  Basically, the active window will lose focus when certain tool tips or pop ups happen within the application.  When an intellisense prompt comes up, the window loses focus, and I can no longer type.  This makes working in Visual Studio completely unbearable.

Everything seemed to work in 5.0.1.  I tried 5.0.2 and it did not fix this issue, and it appears to remain unchanged in 5.0.3.  I have attached a video showing the problem.  (The youtube version was not clear enough to see what was happening)

It does this consistently and drives me completely nuts.  I've gone back down to 5.0.1 for now.

My setup is as follows:

  • iMac Mid 2011 (3.4GHz Core-i7, 16GB RAM)
  • VM is Windows 7 Professional, running Visual Studio 2010.

I tried to submit a help request, but it appears that since someone else in the office buys the software I can't send one from my account...so this was all I could think of to do.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Are there any updates on this bug?  I have had to stop using Unity mode completely when I'm running Visual Studio, which is not an ideal solution...

Thanks!
