Mega-mega-mega dialog across multiple monitors

I use a laptop and one external monitor. Left monitor 1920x1080px (scaling 100%), right notebook 1920x1080px (scaling 125%). On the left monitor of VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.3 build-9474260. When you turn off the virtual machine, a very wide dialog is displayed through both monitors. It's a software bug.

After updating from version 14 to 15.0.0 Build 10134415, the error is very common. Only sporadically is the dialogue of the right size.

Same here, I asked few colleagues and they are experiencing the same issue on WIndows 10 1803/1809 with VMWare Workstation 14.

You can fix/minimize the issue by setting your most left monitor as the main display (at least it is working  for me, on my WIn10 1809 Smiley Happy)

This is my configuration:

I have this issue too, did not find any solution yet. In the meantime I can just press Y for Yes and N for No without the need of moving the dialog.

Same here with 3 monitors and very annoying. It sure would be nice if someone at vmware would take a look at this.

Any update on this?  Does the latest version fix it?  I'm a v11 user and it drives me nuts.  I'm teetering on the edge of upgrading, working on collecting incentives and if this really aggravating issue was fixed in the latest revision that would be a factor lol
