The 8.0.2 patch may not be available through the "Software Updates" menu item under VMware Workstation, but it is available directly from VMware through the "Support and Downloads" part of their website:
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation/8_0 The version that is currently available on that page is v8.0.2 (for both 32-bit and 64-bit and Linux) and it seems to have resolved the issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891295 Title: Key repeat is disabled intermittently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/891295/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
