I can not reproduce the problem, sorry.
You need to add more details: distro and DE specifically.

On Ubuntu 14.04 default Unity environment it's working fine, just tested :)

Just tested again, in a clean install, that the bug is still there.

Try installing Chromium, setting it as default, and trying to reproduce again.

Thank you 👌

I was able to reproduce the problem, so far it looks like that the problem arises due to elevating access rights with pkexec to alter system config.
Let's see whether I can find a fix for this.
