Never noticed this before, but by holding a modifier, it can also be reproduced with a fresh install of VMWare Player 2.0.4 build-93057 (modules built against 8-Jun-2008's current 2.6.24-18 kernel, all 32-bit).
As annoying, but thankfully less fatal, is a related bug where keyboard LED state desynchronizes (Num/Scroll/Caps-Lock). That seems "sort of fixed" to the extent that vmplayer now doesn't toggle the LEDs at all, and state is appropriately preserved when switching focus out of the VM. Unfortunately the vmplayer is an "unsupported" product, so it's difficult to flag down someone at VMWare to tell them there's an issue. -- 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
