This has come and gone quite a few times for me in VMware Fusion. It seems that
changing from windowed mode to fullscreen often resets it. This is especially
true for using the mouse to highlight in virtual terminals. The mouse will be
offset by about half the height of the terminal (but correct in the X position
for width).
You may be seeing more of a problem though with the last few days due to xorg
server update and brokenness in how input devices are configured. Read over
this bugzilla and just be aware it is a current problem. This bug is mainly
about keyboards though.
I do have input location problems for my mouse that is different from what I
mentioned above that is recent with the last few days. The vmware mouse
location (where the click occurs) will be somewhat randomly positioned, while
the actual mouse appears to be somewhere else. Each click it appears to
randomly relocate the effective position where it clicks.
