[Bug 1323758] [NEW] Mouse stops working when connected usb-storage-device

[Ruben Portier]

Public bug reported:

I'm running a guest that has Windows 8 Pro (x64) installed. Every time I
pass through a usb storage device from the host to the guest, the mouse
stops working in the vnc client. When I remove the usb-device the mouse
works again.

The mouse only stops working when I pass through a usb storage device
and then make the vlc viewer (client) inactive by clicking on another
program on the local computer (where I'm running the vnc viewer
(client)). As long as I keep the vnc viewer active, the mouse works
without any problems. But as soon as I make the vnc viewer inactive and
then active again, the mouse will no longer work. I have to reboot the
guest or remove the usb storage device.

I can't find any related problems on the internet, so it may be just me?

I hope someone can help me with this.
