It is doing this on the release version of 12.04 Unity desktop with nouveau driver. When you start Synaptic and start typing in the password, a little box appears in the bottom right of the screen and shows the text for the password for all to see. Just a slight security issue!

I cannot reproduce this error at all using Ubuntu Precise beta 2 and Ubuntu Software Center 5.1.14.1. The authentication dialog is correctly focused each time.

The reason it's marked as NEW in software center is because this issue has been identified as being caused (or at least solvable) in the policykit package - as far as the software-center package goes it is currently unsure or not researched whether this can be solved there. The status of this bug in software-center has changed several times. You can see a full log of changes by clicking the link 'See full activity log' at the bottom of the comments list.

Reproduced in Compiz. Also partially reproducable in Metacity: 1. Open software store 2. Choose application to install 3. Click install - The authentication dialog does not have focus. 4. Close authentication dialog 5. Click install - The authentication dialog has focus (repeats from step 4) You can also reset to step 3 by switching windows on the panel then returning to the software store. I can't see any code in PolicyKit GNOME to handle making the authentication dialogs transient.

This happens intermittently, perhaps because of Compiz's focus-stealing- prevention heuristics. I had asked Robert Ancell about this some weeks ago, and he told me it was bug 165161, but that bug has apparently been fixed for the past week. Robert, can you please fix this? The Store passes its window ID to Aptdaemon deliberately so that Aptdaemon can tell PolicyKit to make its window modal to the Store window. Therefore, if the Store window was focused when the PolicyKit window is opened, the PolicyKit window should reliably take focus from the Store window. -- Authentication dialog doesn't get focus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433851 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
