Hi Kelv,
thanks for the answer! Your solution makes sense. Since I'm on a mac I researched how to do these changes since the preferences are no the same. Apparently it's not possible on a mac – someone tried to add the settings manually but failed: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/293604
VMware: please look into this. The bug is still there and apparently happens because of the autofit resolution changes.
