Minimizing Full Screen on dual Monitors

On VMware Workstation 12.5.7 for Linux when I expand my VM to full screen and then extend the display to my second monitor everything works fine. But when I try to minimize the VM only the screen with the VMware control bar is minimized and the second screen is still in full view. When I try this with Workstation for Windows both screen are minimized. Is there anyway with the Linux product to have both screens minimized like they do on the Windows product?

Hello,

You can refer to this link To exit full-screen mode and return to windowed mode, select Player > Full Screen from the full-screen toolbar. The check mark next to Full Screen is removed.  https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Player/12.0/com.vmware.player.win.using.doc/GUID-291EA...
