Bug Description
When installing software using Ubuntu Software Centre, a dialog box pops up requesting authentication. This dialog does not receive focus, so one must manually click or tab to the text box in order to enter the password.
This seems like an anomaly -- normally when authentication is required, clicking to focus the text box is not necessary. As an example, when I load Synaptic Package Manager, the screen dims slightly and the dialog box is in focus.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however I have been unable to reproduce the effect you describe. When I opened the Software Centre and attempted to install 7zip, the authentication dialogue that appeared was immediately given focus. I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
Can you confirm which version of Ubuntu you are using?
