I was informed on the Debian Subreddit that this is where I should report an 
issue so just adding my post here too.
I wasn't sure what package this would be related to so happy to resent this if 
anybody would like to suggest it and I can resubmit for a particular package to 
the bugs email.
Thanks

I've installed Trixie RC1 a few times over the past week in VMWare Workstation 
Pro and noticed a recurring issue.
I noticed that it sometimes struggles with what I assumed was copying and 
pasting but had forgotten that the keyboard shortcuts for those are actually 
Ctrl+Shift plus either c or v.
Whenever I copied and tried to paste into Konsole with CTRL-V I could no longer 
click into the desktop. Sometimes a notification may still pop up during this 
but mouse or keyboard control was gone.

I thought it was when doing CTRL-V from one vm to another but it also just 
occurred within the single vm. This occurs no matter the Desktop environment.
Also just a moment ago on a basic install of xfce I went to copy from a command 
from a text file within the trixie vm and then did CTRL-V to paste it to the 
console and ^ V gets continuously added to the command line tens of times and 
then I can't access the desktop.

Another time even just selecting the text I wanted to copy from gedit and 
copying it hung the desktop and multiple times copying text from another vm 
with CTRL-V into the Trixie Konsole caused the issue. VMware tools is installed 
also.

I'm trying to streamline a bootstrap install script to install all my 
pentesting tools and dotfiles hence why I've installed it many times and 
reverted to bare bones installs on vmware too to play around with my script. 
It's quite common that this is happening on fresh installs and I have lots of 
RAM available too.

Anyway just thought I'd give a heads up and maybe this is sorted in the stable 
release. If I've missed something with these keystrokes that may trigger this 
let me know.
Also happy to try to look in particular logs if cleverer people than me want to 
debug it.
