Public bug reported:
I was typing an email whilst an update was in progress, and when the
'restart to complete update' box popped up, I accidentally restarted my
computer. I'm not sure whether this took one or two taps of the
spacebar, but happened from me simply continuing to type for a second or
so when the box popped up.
If the box is to grab focus regardless of what the user is doing, then
it needs to *not* have the 'restart now' button focused and ready for an
enter key or spacebar.
It would be better if no button had focus, so that an actual click was
required to take action.
What I expected to happen: Nothing, ideally. It's ok if my typing is
interrupted, but nothing else should happen if I'm in the middle of
typing when the box pops up.
What happened: My computer restarted.
Ubuntu version: 14.04
