Public bug reported:
When at the terminal, trying to file an issue with ubuntu-bug, I was
prompted for authentication. Only after the third try was the password
accepted.
1. I entered the password correctly and the authentication window closed and
reopened very quickly (no error message that I had entered the password
incorrectly).
2. Then I entered a bogus password and the authentication window closed and
reopened very quickly (this time with the expected “Your authentication attempt
was unsuccessful. Please try again”).
3. Then I entered the correct password again and it was accepted.
This happens more often than not, however sometimes I'm not prompted for
authentication at all with ubuntu-bug. When I am prompted for
authentication, all three tries can be the correct password (no need to
have a bogus password entered as one of the tries) and only the third
one is accepted.
The expected behavior is:
1. Consistency: ubuntu-bug should either always prompt the user for a password
or always not
2. Only one entry needed: If ubuntu-bug is going to prompt the user for a
password using apport, then the first correct entry should be accepted.
