1. Install or update any software
2. When authentication popup appears, navigate back to the application

OBSERVED RESULT
The application will not allow installing new software and user in unaware if he misses the popup by a wrong touchpad click


EXPECTED RESULT
The application should make it clear that either user needs to input the password or escape the popup to install something else.

Dunno if this is actually possible to do in Discover, or if it required instead fixing Bug 433485.

This bug seems like a duplicate of bug 312325. Since this is one of the bugs in the 15-minute initiative, can a developer mark this as a duplicate and change the importance of 312325 to HI normal to make it show up in the list?

Oh, you're right!
