Unwanted control-Z in putty when VMware Workstation gets focus

$

I've searched the forums for a mention of this and come up empty....

 

I have a Windows 7 VM running under Workstation 8 from which I frequently use the "puTTY" ssh client to access various remote linux hosts.  If a puTTY window is the one with the focus and I move the mouse outside the VM then move it back, the puTTY window sends a control-Z to the remote host.  (I.e. it behaves as if someone had typed Ctrl-Z at the keyboard.)   This is particularly annoying since the remote hosts tend to interpret that as a UNIX signal and will suspend a running process.

 

I'm hoping that this behavior is something I can change with configuration settings, but so far I've not found anything.

 

Ideas?
