** Description changed: + * Impact + Changes on the 'Other Software tab' sometime fail to ask for credential and fail to apply as a consequence + + * Test Case + - start software-properties-gtk + - got to the 'Other Software Tab' + - try to change the value of a checkbox + + The change should prompt for a password and be active + + * Regression potential + the change is a small sleep workaround to avoid trying to get the focus while GTK still has it, outside of a tiny delay in the active it should have no consequence + + --------------- + On the "Other Software" tab, I am unable to select "Canonical Partners". Similarly, the other checkboxes on the "Other Software" can not be clicked. Clicking on a checkbox has no effect, and a dialog requesting the admin password is not presented. However, activating or deactivating checkboxes on other tabs causes an authorization dialog to be presented to the user.
