Turning on Auto Use for one device enable it for all devices

Submitted by jmart on #1

I am seeing on two different servers that if I turn Auto Use on for 1 COM device, Auto Use turns on for all COM devices (turning it off for any of these devices will turn it off for all devices). It seems that non-COM devices are not affected by this bug, like one Android Phone that I have connected.

Is this something that has been seen before, and is there a fix for it? Both of these servers are each running on Raspberry Pi 3. Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks

I think you are using "Auto-Use Device" and all your devices are identical (same Vendor ID/Product ID) so this is expected behavior. If you want to auto-use a specific COM you need to "Auto-Use by Device/Port" so it just auto-uses that port

Yep pretty sure this is the case.

Thanks for the help.
