vmware guest: mouse no longer auto grabbed/released after recent upd

After some recent update, the arch client running as vmware guest no longer auto-grabs/releases the mouse cursor. I need to click on window to be able to use it, and i need to manually release it using alt+shift.

Per xinput, I have mouse driver loaded:

# xinput
 Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
    Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    VMware VMware Virtual USB Mouse         	id=7	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    VMware VMware Virtual USB Mouse         	id=8	[slave  pointer  (2)]
    ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse              	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
 Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
     Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
     Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
     AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]

Any help?
