Copy paste not working in VMWare Workstation 15 Pro after the 15.0.3 update

Dear VMWare workers,

I recently updated my VMWare Workstation pro 15 to 15.0.3 and since then copy paste does not work for me. Can you guys please fix it?

Kind regards,

Tornaci

Have you ALSO installed open-vm-tools-desktop?  I believe that is the package containing the drag/drop functionality.

Is the VM running Wayland? If so, try re-configuring it to run X11 and see if the problem persists?
