Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I wanted to install an application - clicked install, got the new password dialog. Put my password in. Password line dissapeared, dialog stayed. Clicking 'Authenticate' again didn't actually auhenticate. Clicking 'Cancel' didn't actually cancel. Clicking "X", unintuitively enough, authenticated.

See attached video.

I would blame this on policykit rather than software center itself.

So far, just regular usage makes this happen once in a while.
