Mouse doesn’t move at FileVault login screen in VMware Fusion macOS Mojave VMs

As part of working with FileVault on macOS Mojave, I’ve been using VMs running in VMware Fusion 11.x for testing. As part of that, I’ve seen a problem where the mouse doesn’t move when the VM has booted to the FileVault login screen. The keyboard responds and arrow keys can be used to select users, but the mouse itself is immovable and does not respond.

After some research, I ran across someone who had the same issue and found a workaround. For more details, please see below the jump.
