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

[Kendrick]

I have had this issue happen multiple times on multiple versions of kvm
with both ubuntu and cantos.  I just the other day tried installing
win8.1 again for testing and ran across ruban's post.  this happens in
win10 as well and I think I had seen it in win7.

I reinstalled another win8 vm from a usb instead of an iso later that
day and realized that the mouse was working normally which surprised me.
I then manually installed the virtio nic driver.  the system still
worked normally.  I then installed the baloon driver and that make the
mouse stop working untill i pulled the flash drive.  after changing the
power settings the mouse would again start working with the flash drive.

I have always used virt manager for connecting to the servers and spice
for the display

  Mouse stops working when connected usb-storage-device

Bug description:
  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.

  EDIT: I posted the extra/new information in comments. But as I know
  see it might be wrong and maybe I should've posted them in this bug
  description container (by editing)? Please tell me if I did it wrong
  and I will change it. Sorry for this misunderstanding.
