as the subject line indicates, VMs with a gui have trouble with the mouse.
Dell XPS 15 9510
32G RAM, Intel processor - i can't keep all of the variants straight and am not at the pc now.
host OS: Win11 with all updates as of 6/12/2022.
guest OS: Ubuntu 20.04 in an ova file [non-gui ubuntu 20 vms work fine]
the system has 2 thunderbolt ports and a usb3 port
i have tried 3 mice, one bluetooth and two basic MS 3 button USB mice
i have uninstalled and reinstalled vmware and toggled every option that i thought might help.
hard to summarize the troubleshooting i've done but the problem presents as either no mouse cursor at all or a mouse cursor pegged to the bottom right corner of the virtual screen. ctl-g changes nothing, ctl-alt returns mouse to host os.
any help will be appreciated
