Title:
  usb behaving strangely (e.g. abrupt mouse movements, usb keyboard
  loosing key events)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After some boots, the USB mouse behaves strangely (abrupt mouse movements), also, USB keyboard tends to loose some keypresses. This behavior occurs randomly (I can't find out what's causing this) and lasts from the point when lightdm is displayed until the computer is rebooted. This issue never starts to manifest during computer runtime - either it is present right from the Ubuntu start, or it does not occur. The issue is never present in grub menu, in Windows, nor in BIOS menu. Sometimes, the bug manifests in multiple consecutive reboots.
  Running commands as described here: http://davidjb.com/blog/2012/06/restartreset-usb-in-ubuntu-12-04-without-rebooting fixes the issue (until the following computer boot - not necessarily the very next boot). There is an interesting warning in my dmesg about ignored IRQ 17 - perhaps it is somehow related?

  I'm running Quantal x86-32 on Dell Latitude E6510, but the problem
  manifested also on 12.04, 11.10 and perhaps other versions as well.
