Comment 55 for bug 1579712

I'm running Ubuntu Gnome and the user experience is horrible with this bug when using the UI: "Software Updater" has "X" and "Stop" buttons: "Stop" button stays gray (inactive) during the update (what is the point of having gray Stop buttons?). It is even worse if the user (such as me) tried to change the repository, thinking there might be something wrong with that: "Software & Updates" -> "Ubuntu Software" -> "Download from:" [select your mirror] -> "Choose Server" -> "Close". Then there is the notification "The information about available software is out-of-date" -> "Reload". And the result: forever inactive window with no possibility to interfere.

I don't know how this is handled by the UI in the regular Ubuntu but this case seems to be a good test case for user interaction.
