the root password dialog is part of the "usermode" program, and not up2date itself, reassigning to the "usermode" component. I can't reproduce this with usermode-1.80-1 any more. I ran debug version of usermode where this feature is disabled. This really happens even with rawhide usermode. On the other hand, this behavior is intentional in order to not to give user a chance to type password in a visible form to some other window if he accidentially change focus. I'll set the password window always on top in order to not to let the user be confused if he switches to another window what covers the password dialog and anything he types goes to password query window actually. Closing bugs in MODIFIED state from prior Fedora releases. If this bug persists in a current Fedora release (such as Fedora Core 5 or later), please reopen and set the version appropriately. |
