Comment 0 for bug 1398334

I am not a 100% sure if this is a problem caused by the "update-manager" package or "update-notifier" or unity.
If needed I can reproduce this the next time there are updates available and report it to some other package or enhance this report. I have also used cli for some years so let me know if I can do anything else.

I have also seen that there are several "popular bug reports" that look similar but I am going to go by the guideline that duplicate reports are not a bad thing and the developer knows better if it is a duplicate or not.
I have had this bug for a while.

I have checked and these are things that do not let me see the update manager window itself:
* Click
* Double click
* Alt+tab (I can see the icon in the list)
* I do not have second monitor attached. I have had it configured at some point in the past
* It is not on any of the other workspaces

I can also see the process in pstree output:
  | | | |-update-manager,16121 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-update --no-focus-on-map
  | | | | |-{update-manager},16128
  | | | | `-{update-manager},16129
