The Bug Description Says: "After a day or so of running"
For me it's more like a couple of hours or minutes depending on variables I've
yet to have figured out what the exact cause is.
Someone over on the VMware forums has posted a way to reproduce the problem
immediatly:
"steps to reproduce:
NOTE: I have put a lot of time into reproducing exactly the steps needed. The
following is the bare minimum of what I need to do to reproduce it. Anything
else is irrelevant (in my case). For example, it works fine if I switch to full
screen without first clicking inside the VM.
* have a vm running
* switch to vmware
* move the mouse into and click inside the vm
* press ctrl-alt-enter to make it full screen
* press ctrl-alt to revert back to windowed mode
now the problem is there
<<<...EXCERPT...>>>
Another observation:
It can also be reproduced this way:
click inside the VM
hold any of Shift, Ctrl or Alt keys down while moving the mouse out of the VM
window
Note: If I switch to the VM by simply alt-tabbing to it, then pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Enter to full screen it, then Crtl-Alt to release, I do not get this
problem. It only occurs when I:
1. Click inside the VM and
2. Hold any of the Ctrl, Alt and/or shift keys while releasing the
keyboard/mouse to the host OS (which you obviously do when you press Crtl-Alt
to revert back to windowed mode, as the cursor is then released from the VM)."

p.s. When is this going to be assigned to someone so we can get a fix?
Or is Ubuntu/Xorg/VMware going to keep passing the buck?
