Dragging within Windows stops working after a while

Does anyone else have this issue?

After a while of use (which in itself causes a whole host of other performance issues i've been complaining about, but will keep separate here) - one very specific problem is that dragging no longer works. For example, dragging emails to folders within Outlook.

When you click and drag - nothing moves with the pointer. It never "picks up" the object. This occurs in other applications too, not just Outlook.

Is this a known problem?

Hi, can you help to confirm that only drag & drop is not working, or vmware tools stop running?

Yes, vmware tools is still working.... can still operate in Unity mode.

Just cannot drag items within an application such as Outlook.

It could be D&D plugin crashes. can you provide these logs when drag function fail to work again,

vmware-vmfusion.log from  ~/Library/Logs/ of Mac host

vminest.log, vmmdi.log from %temp% of Win guest

we could see what happened from logs
