PayPal not working in the Ubuntu Software Center

[Marian Lux]

PayPal ist not working for me on Ubuntu 12.10 in the Ubuntu Software Center (USC) any more. I bought a lot of stuff via PayPal on the USC but now it stops working:

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Ubuntu 12.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
software-center:
  Installiert: 5.4.1.4
  Kandidat: 5.4.1.4
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 5.4.1.4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     5.4.1.2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages

3) What you expected to happen
No secure window opens for purchasing with PayPal.

4) What happened instead
After the "Log in to your PayPal account to complete this purchase" dialog appears and clicking on the "Log in" button, the dialog with the text "Please continue your purchase in the secure window we opened. If you don't see it, click the button below" appears. If I click on the "Go" button, nothing happens.

On this link you can see which dialog does not appear (the front dialog):

and the first comment in this post describes my problem (from Мики)

This is the corresponding Askubuntu-Link, I have entered two weeks ago:

Marian, thanks for the report. For future bug reports, remember that it's better to include details of exactly what happens in the bug report itself.

In the linked Ask Ubuntu page you say "If I click on the "Go" button, nothing happens". This is the same problem described in bug 1164036.
