I found a solution: I used an usb hub for the mouse. I think it is something about the power supply: the hub would introduce a discontinuity in the signal and this acts like a replug.
I bet the software driver has a bad initialized variable somewhere. It is set correctly only after the first replug! Mine is only a feeling: I'm a programmer but I have never taken a look to the linux usb driver code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775498 Title: USB mouse does not get detected.
