Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Lucid Lynx Beta 1. Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Ubuntu Software Center
2. Choose Installed Software
3. Press Remove button and keep writing the pass. There are some chances that the focus remains on main window (sometimes focus moves to the message box as it should be) and your typing works as search (shown in right lower part of screen). In case of inability to reproduce the scenario you just can move focus while the message box is open and it is incorrect too.
Attached screen-shot in the middle of typing root password.
Expected: Authentication window should block any focus stealing until it is closed. See Synaptic for example.
