I couldn't confirm this bug in the following computers: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 2.6.35-23-generic i686 with software-center v3.0.5
Ubuntu 10.10 2.6.32-26-generic x86_64 with software-center v2.0.7 Both of them show the expected behaviour. But If I add and intermediate step: Steps I have made: 1) Entered 'xpdf' in the search box 2) Change focus to another application (for example a terminal) 3) Maximize Software-Center Window and Click install on the XPDF list item in the result list (not from the XPDF details page) It works fine in my Ubuntu 10.04 computer but not in my Ubuntu 10.10. So it seems to be a regression. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687684 Title: Authentication dialog does not receive focus when clicking the install button -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
