Touchpad, Horizontal Scrolling, VMWare Guest

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS on 64-bit on VMWare Player (17.0.1 build-21139696). My problem is horizontal scrolling in browser i.e. Chrome, Edge and Firefox and latest Opera.

My laptop has touchpad and my machine is Dell G3-15. Vertical scrolling works fine but horizontal scrolling does not work at all and I find myself looking for scrollbars which nowadays are getting invisible in all the websites.

On my host machine where WIndows 10 is running, Horizontal as well as vertical scrolling works fine with no issues. I have also noticed that on other machines, installations of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or higher, do not suffer from this so,

this is not a hardware problem as Host machine has no issues.
this is not a browser problem as it is happening on all the browsers on guest machine but not on host
this is not a Ubuntu specific problem as other installation of ubuntu (directly on hardware) do not have this issue.

I presume this must be a vmware specific problem. I have VmWare tools installed (at least that's what I believe). Have searched for this on various forums but did not find any answers that could solve the issue.

Can anyone guide me how can I fix my problem? If you need more info about the hardware, OS etc do let me know and I 'll add more details to the question.

Thanks in advance!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
