I discovered that the Software & Updates application "Authentication"
tab's "Remove" button does not work properly too. After pressing the
"Remove" button, pkexec was called. After submitting the password for
administration level, nothing happens, i.e. Trusted software keys that
was selected for deletion do not get removed. Not error was shown in
terminal.

I had filed a bug report (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/software-properties/+bug/1840624). Should it fall under this bug report
too and this bug report's title be amended to include the
"Authentication" Tab?

Title:
Software & Updates application does not permit changes on the "Other
Software" tab
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On the "Other Software" tab, I am unable to select "Canonical Partners".
Similarly, the other checkboxes on the "Other Software" can not be clicked.
Clicking on a checkbox has no effect, and a dialog requesting the admin
password is not presented.
However, activating or deactivating checkboxes on other tabs causes an
authorization dialog to be presented to the user.
I experience this bug in an an Xorg session.
