I have removed Mactel support from this bugreport, because it's not related to Apple devices only. I have Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse with the same problem. And - NO problems with older Ubuntu having hidd. Just type hidd --connect AA:BB... and everything works (forever).

New wizard behaviour:
- Connect device
- Mouse works
- Inactivity for few minutes
- Disconnected
- Try to pair again, "pairing failed", which is displayed immediatelly, without even "trying".

I consider this critical and I believe this should focus on reenabling hidd as the new stack seems to be buggy for advanced users. Really - can it cause a lot of pain to beginners if they have hidd? I don't think so.

P.S.: No, please don't suggest fixing the bug in the wizard, this report is intentionally provided as a request to REINTRODUCE HIDD.
