Those with VMware do you have issues minimizing?

[KingYaba]

Seems to be a bit of an issue. A simple quitting of the application and restarting it solves the problem. Basically when I open VMware running XP in full screen mode any existing windows open, for example Camino and iChat, will no longer minimize if I switch back using spaces. I can close and expand but I do not have the little yellow bezel.

This is nothing but a minor inconvenience to me. Any insight would be helpful.

For the record, double clicking the title bar does not minimize either.

Yes I can confirm I have the exact same problem with VMWare fusion. It's annoying...

Does Command+M works?

Does Command+M works?

I am running Leopard and no, using command + M does not work.

a new build was released... not sure if that problem is addressed or not but might want to check and see

Thank you for showing me the update webgoat but the problem still occurs.

With the 10.5.2 update I was hoping this little annoyance would be solved. Unfortunately for me, the minimizing issue still occurs.

Nope.... No problem with any of my VMs... Have you tried reinstalling Fusion?

 

[KingYaba]

I have and the problem still occurs. I deleted everything from the plist files to the preferences to the receipt.

double clicking anywhere on top side of VM ware will do minimizing

I haven't had the problems described, and in fact minimizing solved another problem I had:

I typically use VMWare to run a windows image on a 22" Dell monitor. However, when I unplug to take my MacBook to a meeting, I get the screen refresh where Leopard reconfigures the resolutions. The VMWare screen then turns uniformly black, though sometimes showing the XP toolbar. I can't click on anything in the VMWare window. Minimizing XP to the OSX toolbar, and restoring solves the problem.
