[molecule-eye <1094744@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse which was having the same
problem on Kubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 13.10. The problem doesn't
arise on other distros like Fedora 20 (Alpha). Adding the line

<device oui="28:18:78:" type="mouse" name="Microsoft Sculpt Comfort
Mouse" pin="0000"/>

to

 /usr/share/kde4/apps/bluedevilwizard/pin-code-database.xml

Did NOT work. However, removing the 'name="Microsoft Sculpt Comfort
Mouse"' part did. I.e., adding instead

        <device oui="28:18:78:" type="mouse" pin="0000"/>

fixed my problems. Cheers!

Bug description:
  [Impact] The patch makes Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mice stay connected.
  [Test Case] Get a Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mouse, pair it, restart session, watch it automatically re-pair.
  [Regression Potential] Little. The patched piece of XML is only relevant to hardware having the same ID.

  When you don't use the mouse for a long enough time, the mouse
  disconnects and won't reconnect. I have to go into bluetooth settings,
  remove it, and re-pair it.

  1)
  ~ % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  2)
  ~ % apt-cache policy bluez
  bluez:
    Installed: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Version table:
   *** 4.98-2ubuntu7 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3)
  I expected the mouse to reconnect automatically, or at least after I try to reconnect manually through the bluetooth settings.

  4)
  I have to re-pair the mouse in order to use it again. Turning the mouse off and on doesn't work either.
