Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I experienced an annoying "peudo-bug" recently while using update-
manager.
- I was busy editing a piece of code using Gedit
- The update-manager tray icon told me about new updates
- I clicked on the icon and started the update process
- Then, I switched back to Gedit and started typing again
- Somewhere along the update, update-manager asked me a question about a
package *but as I was TYPING* I hit the space bar (In think) and update-manager
took this as a *yes* answer. I could not read the question because all of this
happened in a split second.
I do not think it necessary for update-manager to forcefully grab the focus.
This is potentially dangerous, as it runs with root privileges and accidents
like the one I just reported can easily happen.
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
