I can also reproduce this bug. I'm running Win XP Professional on my Ubuntu Jaunty box (latest all updates). The version of Vmware Workstation I am using is 6.5.0 build-118166. I have VMTools installed. I have xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true in my ~/.vmware/config because otherwise my keymap wouldn't work. Typing setxkbmap in a console worked for me.
This happened several times when I was switching often between my VM and my desktop. I was copying/pasting from the VM to OpenOffice. -- Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
