Hello All,
VMWare Player Version: 6.0.2 build-1744117
Host OS: OpenSuSE 11.4
Guest OS: Windows XP
*Issue ONLY happens in Unity Mode...
I've noticed this issue more times now then I care to mention. Today for the most part while I was using Excel, while in Unity mode. But that is just because Excel was what I was using today for most of the day.
What happens is, when I'm typing in a cell and entering a formula for example, and as I'm typing a popup comes up (*from Excel ) with something like a suggestion or a "hint-box" kind of thing related to the formula I'm typing, whatever key was pressed remains pressed unit I hit another key or click away with the mouse, or anything similar...
For example, I was typing "vlookup(B1,B1:B100,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"
So, as I hit the comma at that point in the formula, I simply paused typing for a moment then the next thing I knew the formula was filled with commas, since once I hit the comma a suggestion popup box thing came up suggesting what comes next in the formula. And it seems like whenever this happens it continues entering whatever the last key typed was... Does that make sense??
One other example, this one is with Outlook 2010. Let's say I'm writing a script on my Host OS's Gedit program (simple text editor, like Wordpad). And as I'm typing I get the popup box in the bottom right of the screen above my Host's Taskbar, saying I have a new email message in my inbox in Outlook. And if I was typing when that box popped up, whatever the last key I typed was gets repeated continuously until I hit another key.
Hopefully that makes sense...?
Basically, it seems like whenever I'm doing any kind of typing in any program (Guest OR Host programs), if a window pops-up from the Guest OS, whatever key I hit last when the popup appears, it repeats that character/symbol until I hit another key.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free!
Thanks in Advance,
Matt
