movement works (buttons and other elements highlight), clicking does not
the only way I can click anything is release input, then repeatedly click where I want to
v14 worked fine up until a few weeks ago, my only guess is a Windows update
does not matter what guest OS, tried Win 10, XP, Ubuntu
have already tried a clean install of vmware

You may find info from Help -> About VMware Workstation.
Besides, what's the mouse type?
Same issue with 14.1.1 on Windows 10 1709. I saw many many people are experiencing the same issue on VMware workstation 14 Pro loses Mouse Focus
God save me... Nobody to solve this problem? I don't have the problem on 12.5.
VMware Workstation 14.1.3 partially fixed the issue. Please add below option in .vmx file to get the fix:
mks.win32.processWin32MouseInput = "TRUE"
However, the fix breaks Drag and drop between host and guest. You can use copy and paste though.
