Annoying repeated keystrokes in VMware Player

Hi,

when working in the guest, I randomly get repeated keystrokes. For example I press return, and get 50 CRs instead (until I press another key). This happens quite frequently and is really annoying.

I've googled this problem, and it seems to be around since quite some time - with no conclusive solution.



My setup:

VMware Player 6.0.3

Host: Windows 7 x 64

Guest: Ubuntu (13.x, 14.x, have tried various versions...) 64 bit



What to do?

cheers,
John
