First, let’s see if this issue happens in Safe Mode:
If the strange behaviors do not occur, then it may possibly be a software issue.
If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode:
Leave safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then try to reproduce the issue.

In addition to Safe Mode.
The Intel Mac's may require resetting the SMC and NVRAM to reactivate the USB ports.
