Bug Description
The icon indicating updates are available appears in the system tray. I click on it, and then, on the pop up, I click on the button to see updates.
Discover launches.
I look at the updates, and decide to run them later. Instead of clicking the "Update" button, I close Discover.
The updates are downloaded and installed anyway.
This happened several times with a previous version of Ubuntu.

Between when I wrote that and today, I was unable to duplicate the bug. There at least two updates after I reported the bug, and before today.
Because I have a slow, lousy Internet connection, when I see an update will be large, I want to postpone the update, and start it just before a time when I will be away from the computer.
This bug did happen again today. When I saw Discover wanted to update Firefox web browser, I closed it, without entering my password. At the time, Firefox was version 66.0.4. Without my permission, discover updated it to 66.0.5.
