I finally found the cause of this problem. It was related to kdeconnect!

In the devices kcm of kdeconnect, your own PC is also listed as one of the 
available devices and it is possible to pair with it!

It does not make sense but in my case my laptop was paired with itself and 
this was the source of the problem. Unpairing solved the problem!
