Behaviour seems somewhat improved but the root issue is still there.
When rebooting with VMware Player running the scaling is now remembered
correctly, however if I then shut the VM down completely and restart it,
it still starts up at first in default screen size, removing the
scaling.
Also the
I can confirm this does seem to 'fix' the issue. At first the seamless
mouse gets in some "hybrid state" where I can move the mouse out of the
window, but the Ubuntu screen still shows it stuck at the corner. When I
then resize the screen it snaps back to normal behaviour. I suppose that

Wayland doesn't work at all, hangs for 5+ minutes after login in VMware
(this reflects my experiences with Wayland on 18.04 and 18.10 in VMware,
don't think I've ever seen it work properly).

Considering that Mutter indeed knows that a monitor is virtual -
shouldn't it just ignore resolution completely for resolving existing
configuration? It changes all the time while dragging windows on the
host machine, maximizing, minimizing etc

One can easily reproduce this by running:
xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 0.8x0.8
This will kill the seamless mouse directly.

Title:
Thanks Daniel for referencing that comment, it's indeed also relevant
here.
It seems weird as a whole that the available scaling options appear to
depend on common monitor resolutions. As stated there at 3840x2075
(that's 4k minus the VMware window borders) I see the
100/125/175/175/250 selector,
I think I just found out the real issue, and that information is not
going to help you because it will contain seemingly random indicators
depending on how I size my windows.
VMware Player, like most virtualization software, runs windowed by
default, and that window is dynamically resizeable. Now
Public bug reported:
When opening the Settings, select Displays and then enable "Fractional
Scaling". The Scale options change to 100% / 125% / 175% / 175% / 250%
If you click the first 175% option it will even automatically select the
second one instead.
The third option should likely be 150%
gnome-shell seems to be the right one, filed

This bug can continue to be about the missing persistence.

As a sidenote: the "Fractional scaling selector" in display settings
allows me to choose between 100%, 125%, 175%, 175% and 250%. Note the
duplicate 175% that should likely be 150%.
