hi,
also for me the same. Had before the Vmware Fusion 8 pro. I decided to upgrade to 11 pro but it does not change the behavior. System is MacOS 10.14.2. VM is a Fedora 29 with latest kernel update. I think, its getting worst, since I installed the vmware-tools to get a faster desktop. It was a bit "slaggy" ...
