Thanks. These are the settings on the Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 virtualized in VMware Fusion in OS X 10.8.3:
VMware Fusion - Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard & Mouse Profile - Profile - Default.
Virtual Machine - Settings - System Settings - Keyboard & Mouse - Mac profile.
Note that if I change the
VMware Fusion - Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard & Mouse Profile - Profile - Default.
to
VMware Fusion - Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard & Mouse Profile - Profile - Mac Profile
and then click other tab like General or close such window and back to it, it reverts to
VMware Fusion - Preferences - Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard & Mouse Profile - Profile - Default.
As said, no problem in all other scenarios (word processors, Finder names, etc). The problem only arises in the login window to enter the username and password or when I have to enter the admin username and password.
