Description Lasse Schuirmann 2015-04-20 13:16:05 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

 * Start a VM
 * Redirect a USB device to it
 * Start another VM in a second window
 * Redirect the same USB device to this one

Actual results:

"Failed to redirect device" error message.

Expected results:

If a USB device is already redirected to another running VM we either shouldn't offer redirection or show a hint or so that this device is not redirectable until unredirected from the other VM.
Comment 1 Zeeshan Ali 2015-04-22 16:12:45 UTC 
Agreed. I think spice_usb_device_manager_is_device_connected() needs to be used by Boxes to decide whether not to show the device.
