Mouse stops working randomly when docked



My mouse and trackpad stop working some time when my laptop (dell
M4500) is docked.

I can move the cursor and select text but clicking does not work (no
change of focus, no action). The keyboard works fine and the system is
totally usable.

This happens in the morning when I start the computer (after 5-10
min). If I reboot, I don't have the problem for the day.

I tried this solution (which would just avoid rebooting) but it didn't
work:

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech M345                           	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]

$ xinput reattach 13 2

Do someone know the reason of this bug?
