However, frequently upon clicking the box for a second time (when it is greyed out) I am then presented with an authentication dialog. This seems quite odd. I've tested this the following versions of software-properties-gtk. 0.96.24.32.5 from bionic 0.26.27 from cosmic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1797649/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
