Keyboard Randomly Repeats Keystrokes in VM

I experience situations with my VMs where my VMs will randomly repeat keystrokes in my VM.  The keystrokes can repeat once to over a hundred times.  It happens when copying or pasting as well with other keyboard shortcuts.  It happens with my Mac keyboard as well as with my Logitech K750, so I have ruled those out as the cause.  It also does not occur with any of my Mac application software, so it is definitely tied to the VMs.

The only way to get rid of this annoyance is to shut everything down and reboot my Mac.  It seems to occur most often when my system has been up for more than 24 hours and will get worse until I reboot.

This occurred under Mac OS X 15.4 (Mohave) and has continued under 15.5 (Catalina).  I am on the current release of Fusion v11.5.3 (15870345) and my VMs are running the current versions of VMTools.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
