Hi All, i have been having the same problem and seem to have narrowed it down to a few factors.
1. Problem occurs on openSuSE 13.x and 42.1
2. Problem began after upgrading VMware workstation to 12.x
What i have also found is that it only happens when i run Guests with v12 hardware and have Google Chrome running on the host at the same time.
If i change my guests back to v10 hardware the problem goes away.
Alternatively if i close Google Chrome the problem also goes away.
Does this pattern match anyone else?
Regards,
Leon.
