I did not try to use the USB manager in earlier versions so I don't know when the issue showed, just that it is there.
Below is my 'lsusb' output. Devices 4, 5 and 6 are my external USB devices.
Looking at this I can guess what the issue is - vendor and product numbers are the same for two of the devices which could easily mess with the works. Is there a work-around if one has two or more of the same device ? Both device 4 and device 5 are NMEA0183 to USB converters. I will try 'by port'.
Thanks !

Yes ! 'by port' works and solves both the issue in the USB manager tab as well as the port selection in the NMEA0183 window!
Thanks!!!!!
