I fired up update-manager from the command-line, and selected the option to install new packages. Wasn't running anything except for Firefox, a terminal, and gedit. I wasn't really trying to paste inside the dialog -- I kind of accidentally hit the wrong mouse button, and then tried to click on the text box so I could enter my password. Complete accident.
I fired up the dialog again, and clicked around in hopes of being able to enter keys again. That didn't work but in the meantime, I found a new problem. I've noticed that when I right-click the textbox multiple times, I get multiple dialogs offering to do Cut/Copy/Paste! I've attached a screenshot that shows the new problem. I don't really want the Cut/Copy/Paste functionality. I just wanted to report this in case it helped to some a problem or something. ** Attachment added: "multiple_cut_windows.jpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30139171/multiple_cut_windows.jpg -- Update Manager password window shows over right-click menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410819 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
