Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.5-1
Severity: normal
Unfortunately this is the worst of all bug reports. My cat climbed over the
keyboard during the upgrade selection process (tick the box) and somehow turned
the 'Install Updates Button' into an editable area. Backspacing over the
random input cleared the area, and clicking elsewhere restored normal
functionality.
I hesitate to report this bug as it veers on the trivial, however anything
which turns a GUI click button into an editable entry area may have security
implications.
I'm sorry I have no way of reproducing the bug, and I know no way of
backtracking to find out exactly what happened.
