Product: VMware® Workstation 16 Pro Version: 16.1.1 build-17801498
Host: Windows 10 Pro Guest: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Desktop: GNOME Flashback (Metacity)
3 Displays: Windows | Guest Primary | Guest Secondary
Automatically grab and ungrab the mouse: Checked
Symptom: The cursor always disappears when moving from the guest secondary to the guest primary display. Restoring cursor visibility requires either a mouse click or moving the mouse to the Windows display and back again to the guest primary. No keystrokes including control-G will restore cursor visibility.
All other transitions between displays always work: the cursor always becomes visible.
Unchecking Automatically grab and ungrab the mouse fixes the issue with two major drawbacks:
- Very bad flicker when moving the mouse.
- The cursor is clamped to the guest displays and can't be freely moved between them and the windows display.
I'd appreciate very much any assistance to resolve this issue.
