Just to confirm I am still seeing this in 18.10. A few more details:
If I open Software & Updates and switch to the Other Software tab and click one
of the checkboxes the window loses focus but the authentication dialog does not
appear (I have checked it is not under another window). If however I click a
checkbox on the Ubuntu Software tab then the authentication dialog does appear.
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
