Thanks for this report, MC Return. I've updated the specification to
cover keeping the UI open if you stop a manual check. This entails
changing "Cancel" to "Stop".

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Description changed:
I understand the reason for the new behavior to fix bug 289404 and I've
read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates - I can live with the
software-updater trying to update before starting, but currently
1. A click on the Cancel button during the software updater's automatic
starts check for updates closes the Software Updater completely instead of
starting it.
(maybe the user had just run an update or just wants to check something in
the software updater, but now he is forced to wait until all updates have
finished - that feels like a big regression)
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#check-interactive>: "If you
+ stop the check, the progress window should morph into an info alert with
+ the title 'Software Updater' and primary text 'You stopped the check for
+ updates.'..."
+
2. If any of the repository information fails to download the users only
choice is to again close the window (see attached screenshot), which then
closes the software-updater instead of opening it and ignoring those failed
downloads
(Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.)
This means currently there is no way of opening the software-updater,
without finishing a successful update run before.
