Describe the bug

Since the last update of VMware tools on Ubuntu, expanding on multiple physical monitors has not worked as expected. Instead of displaying over multiple monitors, only one window is displayed with the multi screen contents side by side and with scroll bars. Also, the mouse pointer location in the guest VM is offset relative to the host mouse pointer, making it impossible to navigate the guest UI. Returning to single monitor does not resolve the problem and a guest OS reboot is required to reset monitors to a usable state.

VMware Workstation Pro: 16.2.3
Host: Windows 11
Guest: Ubuntu 22.04
WMware tools: 12.3.5.46049 (build-22544099)
Monitor setup (left to right): Monitor 1: 19201200; Monitor 2: 12001920; Monitor 3: 1920*1200

Reproduction steps

  1. Enter full screen mode
  2. Select any multi monitor layout

Expected behavior

Display guest OS across multiple monitors. Mouse pointer location aligned between host and guest.
