Public bug reported:
I was working doing other things on my computer while the upgrade to
Xenial was running. At some point, the upgrade popped up a big squarish
dialog; I'm not sure what it said in it exactly, but I saw that it was a
grey frame enclosing a scrolling white textbox, and that the word
"obsolete" was displayed prominently somewhere in it.
Unfortunately, it popped up and grabbed focus just as I was hitting
Enter in the other program I was working in, and as a result, the dialog
was dismissed accidentally by me a fraction of a second after it popped
up, before I could read what was in it.
The release upgrader should use one of the strategies that other apps of
this sort use to prevent this kind of thing from happening: either (a)
don't allow the "OK" button in this dialog to be clicked for a few
seconds after it pops up, or (b) don't focus on the "OK" button in this
dialog by default, i.e., make the user tab to it or click on it to
dismiss it.
