Sorry, actually this problem still occurs from time to time, even with the last version of VMWare (8.0.2 build-591240)

Anyway, somehow, I do not like the fact that a third party app like VMWare player/workstation can disturb the handling of my keyboard this way. I understand that a Windows guest VM also need to achieve key repeat, but this should not affect the host indeed.
Perhaps we should make the mechanism default to the opposite state (after all, it's enabled by default on Windows) so it would remain enabled when things start to go out of sync between the Host Desktop and a VMWare session.
