Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit
1. Launch an administrative tool that requires you to use policykit to
authenticate (I tested both "System" --> "Administration" --> {"Network","Users
and Groups"} )
2. Click the "Unlock" button
3. Try to move the dialog or click on the desktop or another application (you
aren't able)
4. Click on your username as if you are going to choose another user to
authenticate with
4a) Click back to the same username
5. The dialog is now movable and you can interactive with other applications
This behaviour is strange, there should be a very cut and dry
distinction between when the dialog should have focus and when it should
not.
Another (related?) issue:
1. Repeat steps 1-2 above.
2. Wait several seconds (don't type your password!) and a dialog will pop up
indicating "Could not authenticate - An unexpected error has occurred." (see
attached screenshot)
3. Close the authentication dialog and the error dialog but leave open the
administrative tool.
4. Click on "Unlock" once more.
5. The same error dialog is brought up and you must close down and reopen the
administrative tool in order to attempt to authenticate again.
