Bug Description

update-manager 1:0.174.1, software-properties-gtk 0.92.6, Ubuntu Q

1. Open Software Updater.
2. Open System Settings and choose "Software Sources".
3. Switch back to Software Updater.
4. Choose "Settings".

What happens:
2. The "Software Sources" window opens.
3. It is still possible to interact with Software Updater.
4. A second "Software Sources" window opens, and everything in the Software Updater window becomes insensitive.

What should happen:
4. Focus switches to the already-open "Software Sources" window, and everything in the Software Updater window remains sensitive.

Software Updater shouldn't pretend that Software Sources is a dialog modal to it. It isn't a dialog, and there are multiple other ways of accessing it.

(Bug 1076832 is the equivalent bug in Synaptic.)

I don't know why this was marked as fixed - the patch for software-properties still needs to go through. I don't seem to be able to switch the bug's status though.
