update-manager pops up at unpredictable times, steals keyboard focus, and confirms the action before I get a chance to read what it was saying

Bug Description
This has happened more than once to me over the years:
- I'm typing some text in to a text area in a browser or somewhere
- update-manager window pops up and steals keyboard focus
- I finish typing a word and press space, before I have time to react to the new popup
- update-manager interprets the space as confirming the action and starts installing updates.
This is somewhat annoying.
