It happens too with VMWare Player 6.0.3 build-1895310. I have both versions, on different machines, and both exhibit the same behaviour. Both hosts are Windows 7 machines. The VM was copied from one machine to the other, and was created with VMWare Workstation, not with Player.

[Bug 1339768] Re: VMWare graphics driver regression
Thanks for testing all that Daniel. I think we've got the problem identified now: It does revolve around the virtualHW.version specified in the .vmx file (7 versus 10)... I find that if I edit my .vmx and change my virtualHW.version from 10 to 7, then I do see the problem behavior. Thomas Hellstrom from VMware explains whats happening and provides suggested remedies here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2398873#2398873 Daniel, please edit your .vmx and bump up your virtualHW.version from 7 to 10 (that's Thomas's solution 1b).

I'm unable to reproduce this. With either Unity or XFCE desktop, resizing the VMWare Player window works okay for me. I'm using the same 3.13.0-30.55 kernel (on both host and guest), but my VMware Player is newer: 6.0.3 build-1895310. Daniel, please update your VMWare Player to that version and check whether the problem persists.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.16 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.
