On my notebook I'm using Debian Bookworm with an additional external display connected. When I'm running VMware remote console 12.0.5 build-22744838 for a Windows VM I'm having problems using the mouse. The same mouse connected directly to the notebook works just fine.
Problems observed:
No mouse pointer shown inside the console when focus taken by the console
When clicking to put input focus inside the remote console the guests mouse pointer freezes in position even though it seems I can still move an invisible mouse pointer and click on buttons if I'm able to guess the right mouse position
Starting to type inside an guest freezes the mouse pointer. Releasing the input focus by ctrl-alt and activating the input to the guest by clicking makes the guests mouse pointer work again until I activate an input field and type some stuff.

I haven't tried vmware before, but I reckon you should be able to work around this with "direct mode" that should soon be out in the next release... tl;dr - a key combo that locks the mouse to the current screen and turns it into a plain, relative mouse. Would this be a reasonable solution?
