Copy/Paste, Fusion Accessibility setting and Mouse Clicks not working

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem.

Platform:

2015 Intel iMac 32GB running Monterey 12.7.1 (yes, time for an upgrade)

VMWare Fusion 12.2.5

Guest OS - Ubuntu (19 and 22)

Problem:

Copy and paste does not work between Guest to Host operating systems.  Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop packages several times.  I have also unchecked and rechecked the isolation options several times.  When I set the privacy and security option on the  MacOS to grant the VM permission to control the host OS the mouse clicks stop working in the guest operating system.  I have removed and added Fusion into the list several times. Options to fix that problems like adding:

mouse.vsub.startConnected = "FALSE"

to the .vmx file have not solved the problem.

Anyone else had this problem?  Were you able to solve it?

Thanks,


Greg G.
