Update Manager Restarts Without Prompting

[Pablo180]

After certain updates, Update Manager only offers the option of Restarting, annoyingly locating the button in exactly the same place as the only other option that ever appears 'OK'.

Should the unlucky user accidentally hit the Restart button, the system is shut down with no prompting and no option to wait or delay. Indeed the only way to get rid of the prompt is to press Restart, thereby losing all work and shutting down the system.

I haven't come across this kind of bug since using Windows which also arbitrarily decided that you'd done working for the day and didn't need to save anything before shutting down the PC.

I can't understand how this bug has slipped by, and replaced the former red icon indicating that a restart was advised, albeit not mandatory?

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go and save all of my work and carefully close down all of my open applications without accidentally pressing Enter when the Update Manager has focus, otherwise it will restart without warning.
