Mouse anomoly in VMWare Fusion

Current system:Mac Pro

6 GB mem

2 TB HD

dual 30" monitors

VMWare Fusion running Windows XP

IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.1 for Windows XP

Whenever I move the mouse into the navigation section of a dwa7 mail template, the cursor correctly changes to a hand, but the characteristics of mouse movement changes drastically. The mouse moves through the navigator slower, when I get to the edge of the navigator the mouse jumps back from the direction I was travelling in, clicking on a folder drags the folder as it jumps to another part of the navigator. Even though the mouse button is not clicked down, the folder is being dragged. I have to go back to the position where the folder was a click again to release the folder. If I run an action in my mail file, the cursor correctly changes to an hourglass and going through the navigator does not exhibit the same symptoms. When the hand reappears, the cursor goes back to doing the same thing as described above.

I have an open case with IBM about this, but was wondering if anyone else had exhibited the same thing I am having with running VMWare Fusion on a Mac with an XP client and running IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.x for Windows.

Subject: The same problem in VMware Workstation on Win XP

Hi,

I can confirm that we have the same problem on VMware Workstation on Win XP.

But the problem is the same even on PC with only one monitor.

The same on both configuration below:

Host: Win XP Pro

Guest: Win XP Pro

Host: Win XP Pro 64 bits

Guest: Win XP Pro

LN 8.5.1 Client and Domino 8.5.1
