Hi Norbert,
different from the proprietary vmware guest stuff, the open-vm-tools
source does not ship any graphics drivers or other this which are
related to resizing and similar issues.
So I've cloned to bug and reassigned #765490 to the
xserver-xorg-video-vmware package.
This package provides the resizing plugin. I cant say what is responsible
but since the
video driver works without issues at any resolution I would suspect it has
to be related to the plugin.
(Besides it seems not to depend on the size, but rather how soon you
release the button after moving the mouse)

I don't think the DnD problem is actually an issue in
xserver-xorg-video-vmware, so it might make sense to clone the bug
again to reassign this point to gtk/gnome/whatever.
Yeah, sure. Need to figure out the where-/whatever though
But this is clearly a graphipcs driver issue:

Please discuss the X11 related issues in #765490 and I'll handle the
vmtoolsd issues in #764295
I will, just trying to wrap some common stuff up:
I tried using the vmware tools, and the same issues (resizing, shutdown +
DnD) persist. Might be possible that we have to
wait till its fixed in the official driver and trickled down to the
open-vm-tools.
Wouldve liked a painless out-of-box experience with jessie, but on the
upside this means that the debian package is pretty much
on par with the official stuff.
Thanks,
Bernd
