issue with auto "CTRL + C" linux guest on VMware workstation

Hello guys!

Please help with one little issue.

I have Vmware workstation installed on my windows desktop PC. On VMware host I have installed linux Ubuntu guest.

The question is:

When I open console in my guest Ubuntu and move opened console window (by mouse) always Ctrl + C pasted to console. On screenshot below you can see ^C which appears all time when I move console window.

Ensure that VMware Tools is installed and running inside the Linux Guest. For more information, see For information on installing VMware Tools in a Linux virtual machine, see:
