Good news on this issue:  

I changed Parallels to Coherence Mode where every window floats free on the Mac 
display.
This problem does not occur in Coherence.

The thinking was that events like Mouse Down and Up are somewhat time sensitive.
My guess is that without Coherence mode windows has more levels of event 
propagation.
The System Browser depends on Pharo,  Pharo depends on Centos, Centos depends 
on Parallels, and finally Parallels depends on MacOS.
I’m guessing that Coherence mode cuts out one or two levels of event 
propagation (maybe Centos and/or Parallels).

Any better interpretation? 

In any case, this problem is no longer an issue for me.
