Hangup on send ctl-alt-del after sonoma upgrade

ColoradoMarmot — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 17:18:30 GMT

I've had two instances now where the whole VMWare UI hangs - with the menu still active, after I try to send a ctrl-alt-del to the guest. Have to force quit and reboot the machine to clear it. This is new since upgrading to sonoma. Anyone else seeing it?

Just tried it by using the Fusion menu Virtual Machine > Send Ctrl-Alt-Del to a Windows 11 ARM, Fedora 38/39, and Ubuntu 23.10 :Desktop" VM. and 23.-4 server VMs.

No lock-ups seen. I'm not able to reproduce, unfortunately...

I've experienced the same. I'm using an Intel based Mac with a Windows 11 VM. The entire VM locks up, and it even impacts Mac OS where the only way out is to force quit VMware Fusion.

It happens when I attempt to launch a game on Steam.

And it happened on a different menu as well.

I suspect there's some Sonoma change that's causing this. I found that if I click slowly and make sure the menu completely paints it seems to be less likely to happen.
