Bug summary
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824874
In disco, when policykit prompted me for a password in order for update-manager to dispatch instructions to aptdaemon to perform package updates, the password dialog remained on the screen after I clicked 'authenticate'. The window is not clickable, it appears not to even be a window - mouse presses are received by the window underneath. The exception is that the 'cancel' button is active and receives mouse events - but clicking it does nothing. This may be a gnome-shell issue rather than policykit.
Steps to reproduce
- Have update-manager open
- Navigate to other workspaces and or windows
- Password dialog appears.
