Mouse/Cursor Problem

VMWare Fusion Version 11. 2017 iMac. macOS 10.14 (Mojave).

When trying to highlight text the mouse needs to be one line above what I am trying to select. I place the cursor directly on the word or letter I need to modify, but words or letters one row down are selected. How can I get the cursor to actually highlight what I want? I do have tools installed.

Thanks...

Found a solution to the problem...

Locate a folder called "Virtual Machine" on the Mac OS side and open the folder and you should see an ex: Windows 10* 64. vm ware vm. (no spaces)
Right click on the VM file
Select "Show Package Content".
Look for file ends with an extension .VMX (not .VMXF).
Note: Make a copy of the .VMX on your desktop before you make any changes so you have a backup.
Right click on the .VMX file and select open with Textedit.
Scroll all the way down and add the below entries.

mks.no Host Cursor = "TRUE" (no spaces between words)

Click on File and select save.
Go to the Mac System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy Tab > Accessibility > Select VMware Fusion and remove (minus) and re-add.
