I'm having a problem with my CentOS 7 guest on Windows 7 host, whereby every once in a while (and fairly often), a keypress will just start to repeat so I get a whole string of "s" or "a" or CRs or whatever. I have to press another key to get it to stop. The standard fix of adding "keyboard.typematicMinDelay" to the vmx file doesn't seem to be working.
This also happened on my Windows 10 guest on the same Windows 7 host, and I was able to fix it by adding 'keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000"' to its vmx file. However, adding that same parameter to the CentOS guest's vmx file did nothing... the guest ignores it.
I also tried "xset r rate 1000 10" in the CentOS guest, and all that does is slow the rep rate down, but I still get repeats where I don't want them.
What can I do to make the CentOS guest recognize the changed keyboard.typematicMinDelay parameter? As I said it just ignores it.
Version of Player is Workstation 12 Player version 12.1.0 build 3272444.
Thanks...
