Just found a note on VMware's website that the problem is relating to VMware Workstation and users have to upgrade to VMware Workstation 8.0.2 (see release notes http://www.vmware.com/support/ws80/doc/releasenotes_workstation_802.html - section Resolved Issues - "In Ubuntu 11.10 hosts, key repeat was disabled after ungrabbing or quitting VMware Workstation"). I guess that means individuals on VMWare Workstation 7.1 is stuck for now. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu team can't do anything about this.
