Why has this been changed to incomplete without an explanation?  If it's
incomplete, then tell me what is missing.

Also, importance "medium" is wrong.
Meets this criteria for "critical":
- Severely affects applications beyond the package responsible for the root cause
or at the very least, these for "high":
- Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated) [not being able to use a usb hub at all is a severe impact; users with only one usb port affected by the bug are an estimated small portion of users]
- A problem with an essential hardware component (disk controller, built-in networking, video card, keyboard, mouse) [all the listed components could be connected via a usb hub]
- Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective

Title:
  USB hub stopped working on a given USB port (would work on any other
  port). Reboot fixed the issue

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have two USB ports that I usually use interchangeably: to port A I
  connect the mouse, to port B I connect a USB hub (to which I connect a
  keyboard, printer and other devices).

  Suddenly (probably after resuming from a suspend), the USB hub stopped working when connected to port A.
  It would work fine, however, if connected to port B. When I say the hub stopped working I mean that any device (even a keyboard) wouldn't work if connected through the hub.
  I exchanged ports dozens of times and 100% checked that:
  - mouse and keyboard would systematically work fine if connected directly to any of the ports A or B
  - the USB hub would systematically work fine only if connected to port B
  - the USB hub would systematically fail (i.e. no device connected through it would ever work) if connected to port A

   Now I've rebooted, and everything works as expected again: the USB
  hub always works fine whether I connect it to port A or B.

  I thought this was something physical until I rebooted and found out
  that everything works again.

  This is absolutely ridiculous.
