When the width of screen resolution of guest OS is larger than host, but height of screen resolution of guest OS is smaller than host, VMware Player will display horizontal scroll bar (of course), but also display the vertical scroll bar which is unnecessary. See the screenshot below (size=1280x853, GUI client area size=1258x752).
So each time I started VM, I need manually drag the bottom border of VMware Player to let the VM been displayed in full height. It's a little bit annoying.

Screenshot is here 截图在此:
I don't know why it does not displayed, maybe permission problem?
In the screenshot, the top of the horizontal scrollbar is at px 815
The bottom of the VM menu bar is at px 56
Therefore, the screen area available for the VM has a height of 815 - 56 = 759 px
Since 759 < 768, the vertical scrollbar is necessary.
In this screenshot (size=1280x853, GUI client area size=1258x752), yes, it need a vertical scroll bar. BUT the host OS has a 1024 pixel screen height, it's enough to automatically show full height (768px) of guest OS.
I guess when screen width of guest OS is greater than screen width of host OS, the horizontal scroll bar will shows up, but it occupied the client area of VMware Player GUI, then the height of client area isn't enough to show guest OS, so the vertical scroll bar shows up. This can be improved.
I have another two screenshots:
Screenshot3 vs Screenshot2: Expand only +1px height, vertical bar is gone, and width of GUI client area is increased by +16px.
I guess when screen width of guest OS is greater than screen width of host OS, the horizontal scroll bar will shows up, but it occupied the client area of VMware Player GUI, then the height of client area isn't enough to show guest OS, so the vertical scroll bar shows up. This can be improved.
I guest my guess is not wrong, the scroll bar take 16 pixel from GUI client area, see the screenshot below.
That's why height_of_screenshot3 - height_of_screenshot1 = 869 - 853 = 16.

ope this can be improved, horizontal scroll bar should not occupy GUI client area if screen height is large enough, it will make vertical scroll bar displayed which is not necessary (i mean, we have enough screen height to display full height of guest OS)
Hi, solution this problem? Please ! My OS is Debian 11...
