VMWare Workstation 14 Pro pops out of full screen mode.

[gantzm]

I've upgraded from Workstation 12 to 14.  Everything seems to be fine except for one detail.

Here is what happens:

1) I start up a VM, or two.

2) I full screen the VM, or both.  (Multiple monitors)

3) After a few minutes the VMs pop out of full screen mode and revert to a non maximized window.

4) If I full screen the VMs they seem to stay there.

The exception is:

1) Start VM and full screen it, pops out, full screen again.

2) Start another VM and full screen it.

3) Again, after several minutes both pop out of full screen.

4) Full screen everything and seems to be OK.

Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

I'm not sure what other info to add.  The displays never get garbled or anything, nothing else malfunctions.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am also running into this issue.  The resolution changes seem to happen at random as I have not yet found any pattern, and the logs do not show any errors that I have found as of yet.
