Window resizing worked well on LM 18.3. Purging and reinstalling open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop didn't help. Please help to fix it.

Found that window resizing works normally when 3D graphics acceleration is disabled in virtual machine settings.

Re: Bug with desktop resizing on LM 19 as VMware guest
I had been using Mint 18.3 as a VM within VMware Player 12 with no issues. I installed a new Mint 19.1 to give a try and had the same issue as your screenshot! I thought it was a VMware issue, so I just upgraded to 15.02 and reinstalled the tools still no luck! Started more searches and found this post.
Thank you for posting your solution!! Unchecking the 3D graphics acceleration box fixed my issue also! Thank you again!
…now to figure out the slow bootup (vs my old 18.3). LOL
