    Question VMware 1.0.6 build-91891 and Keyboard input problems in other apps

    I have VMware Server 1.0.6 build-91891 and Ubuntu 8.04 up to date. I have an issue with keyboard input in the host environment after running a virtual machine where any keyboard input in host will cause the other app to close. (i.e., Firefox - typing in address or anything closes window)

    Has anyone encountered this and if so how do you fix this?

    Thanks
    Josh
