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

Title:
Mouse stops working when connected usb-storage-device
Status in QEMU:
Confirmed
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
