Hi everyone,
Hope you're all having a great day! 
I have an issue with mouse grab not working properly in some important use cases (note: mouse ungrab works just fine). Ie hovering over a VM guest does not grab the mouse focus in these cases (even though it does work in other cases). (Note: I have VMware Tools latest version installed on all VM guests).
Reproduce instructions example #1:
- Have 2 VM guests open and running in the same VMware window on the host.
- Click on the desktop of VM guest #1 to make sure it has the mouse focus.
- Click on the VM-tab of VM guest #2 to switch to that VM-guest.
- Hover the mouse back down onto the desktop for VM-guest #2.
The issue is that: VM guest #2 does NOT grab the mouse when you hover over it's desktop area. One is forced to click on VM guest #2's desktop area to give it focus.
Reproduce instructions example #2:
- Have 2 VM guests open and running in TWO DIFFERENT VMware windows on the host. Set the windows side by side. Ie one window has VM-tab for Guest #1 and the other window has the VM-tab for Guest #2.
- Click on the desktop of VM guest #1 to make sure it has the mouse focus.
- Hover the mouse over to the desktop area of VM guest #2. VM guest #2 does NOT grab the mouse in this case. One is forced to click on the desktop area to give mouse focus to VM guest #2.
This is unfortunately a security issue because I often get confused and start sending keyboard commands to the host instead of the guest (I deleted a folder on the host by mistake for example because I thought the key commands were going to the guest when they were in fact going to the host).
Any help would be very much appreciated since I'm currently nervous of running software or deleting files in the host by mistake, due to being confused if I'm on the host or the guest at times.
Cheers,
