Bug Description
I left the Beta of Focal Fossa running overnight and when I logged in this morning, I found an open Authentication window with the message "To change software repository settings, you need to authenticate" (see attached screenshot).
I enter my password and the password field grey out.
The window stays persistent but is "invisible" to the mouse - i.e. if I click anywhere in it, it actually clicks the thing behind it.
The Cancel button does nothing.
I had this same issue yesterday when actually running Software & Updates.

I attempted to make a change to a repository by launching Software & Updates and editing an unselected package from eoan to fossa - the authentication window persisted at the top left of my screen throughout - even after entering my credentials in the central authentication window that popped up (and went as normal)
