Stuck Key Repeat problem has returned

Previously there was a BUG affecting VMware guest machines where occasionally a typed key would get "stuck" on autorepeat. So you type "a" and you get "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and it keeps going until you type another key to stop it.

VMware fixed that issue in VMware Fusion 11 and for that reason I bought the upgrade.

Following recent security updates to Mac OS X and VMware Fusion,

this bug has resurfaced.

This is creating a big problem. Please fix it. Again.

Version information:

VMware Fusion Version 11.1.0 (13668589)

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6.

By the way I've looked all over the VMware website. Where do you submit bug reports?

Changing the Keyboard layout in Host or Virtual machine to US should rectify this.

Thanks for your response, though I'm skeptical: there was a long thread about this issue elsewhere on this forum and many things like this were recommended and didn't help. It did turn out to be a bug, which was fixed in version 11 and seems to have made a comeback with one of the recent updates.

Nevertheless, I'm willing to try. How/where do I ensure my keyboard layout is configured as you suggest?
