Hi everyone,

The issue seems to be reproducible the following way:

0. I am on Ubuntu 12.04.4
1. Install VMWare Player 6.0.2 or 6.0.3
2. Run a VM
3. Go To System settings in Host Ubuntu - Keyboard Layout / Options /Caps Lock behavior ->
Make Caps Lock an additional Control but keep Caps_Lock keysym
4. After this, swinging the mouse over a virtual machine's desktop triggers the issue.
5. Running setxkbmap in terminal is a good workaround

I finally remembered that I changed the keyboard layout with this modification (thanks to this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/195982/comments/226) I had this for a few days but this issue was really a pain.

Hope you can solve it on Ubuntu side

Cheers,
Adam
