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.

Thanks for reporting this bug.
Could you tell us which Ubuntu release you are running? Was 'vlc viewer' a typo, or is that another program you have running beside the vnc viewer?
If you are starting this VM using libvirt, please attach the xml definition for the VM (virsh dumpxml vm-name). If using the command line, please show us the full exact command you are using.
Also please show the result of 'sudo lsusb' after plugging in the usb storage but before passing it through to the guest, then again after passing it through.
Finally please show exactly how you are passing through the usb device.
If these don't show anything obvious then I'll try to reproduce.
