I see the same thing on 14.10. I haven't tried 15.04. Is it reproducible there too?

Yes, on 14.10, I only reported it on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1362631), but now reporting it here also for 15.04.

Comment 4 David Edmundson 2014-11-17 11:53:14 UTC

This has been fixed.

Comment 5 Marco Parillo 2014-11-17 13:14:54 UTC

Could you please point me to the release of Plasma 5 where this is fixed, so I can compare it to what is packaged with Kubuntu 15.04?

Comment 6 David Edmundson 2014-11-17 13:19:32 UTC

git hash 267c5f81caa4af84211fb207ff3ebe45ad3dc053

not released yet, will be 5.3.2

Comment 7 Doug Schaefer 2014-11-18 03:11:32 UTC

I'm guessing that's really 5.1.2 which comes out next month. Thanks! Can't wait to try it.

Comment 8 Doug Schaefer 2014-12-19 02:31:55 UTC

No, Plasma 5 is still unusable on vmware and from what I hear virtual box as well. As soon as you change the screen size the desktop disappears. Tried on Kubuntu vivid alpha1. How are KDE developers able to run in these environments?

Comment 9 David Edmundson 2014-12-19 02:36:47 UTC

I don't know Kubuntu names. What version of plasma-workspace is that?

Comment 10 Doug Schaefer 2014-12-19 02:55:01 UTC

Good think you asked. Looking at it I see they still have 5.1.1 on their daily ISOs. But they have 5.1.2 on their site so upgraded and am able to resize fine.

Thanks! And sorry for the noise.

BTW, I haven't tried with the vmware additions and going full screen like mentioned on this bug but will try that next.

No problem. Thanks for reporting back.
