Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
During an update, I was writing an email. A window came up just as I pressed
the spacebar. The window disappeared before I could read it. The window was
most likely asking about what to do about menu.lst since there was a kernel
update.
This can not be proper behavior.
Either, 1) dialogs should not steal focus, or 2) dialogs should not have a
default button selected so that a user pressing enter, or spacebar at the wrong
time doesn't break a system.
I suspect that #2 would be a better option, since the update is incomplete
until the user makes a selection. If the user fails to notice the window for an
extended time, the system might crash or be rebooted before the update is
completed.
