Description

I try to create a multi sign wallet using 3 different hardware wallets. The first hardware wallet is detected without issue but either the second or third is never detected. When I try again in a different order, starting from the one that was not detected, it's again working with the first but then either the second or third is not detected. So it's not related to the hardware wallet as all can be detected at least once depending on the order used.
If I create a standard single sign wallet with any of the 3 hardware wallet it's every time detected without issue.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Electrum version: 4.2.2 AppImage
Hardware wallet: Ledger Nano S, Trezor One and KeepKey, all with latest firmware.

Research direction

Reproduce multisign wallet creation with a Ledger Nano S, Trezor One, and KeepKey on Ubuntu 22.04 using Electrum 4.2.2, testing different device orders. Trace hardware-wallet detection from the multisign setup entry point and compare it with single-sign detection; done when all three devices are detected in one multisign setup.
