I've searched but not found anything on my particular issue so I thought I would ask.

When I run Fusion 10.1.2 on a 2017 Mac Pro with 10.13.3 with a touchbar the turning on/off of the touchbar and various other aspects appear to result in key repeats in the guest O. For instance if I am a linux guest ubuntu 16.04 and I wait until the touchbar turns off the next key i press in the guess will repeat like a dozen times. This is repeatable every time the touchbar goes into any state other than being completey on. Even that does not solve the issue and there is still times where a key will repeat a dozen times. The guest is almost unusable because of this. There is a 6 month old and running thread over at the VMWare forums but no responses from VMWare at all and its 10 pages long with the only seemingly solution to use some other product as the answer. (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/577500). Has anyone else suffered this fate and been able to fix it?? If so what did you do?
 
obviously no one else has this issue or do not use fusion.
 
Maybe there's no response because you mean MacBOOK Pro. I have a Mac Pro, and the last new model was released in 2013. That's why I was curious and checked this post. I also have Fusion 10. But since the Mac Pro doesn't have a TouchBar, I'm not of much help. IMO, it sounds like a VMWare issue. Hopefully they'll issue an update soon.
