This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.82.5

---------------
software-properties (0.82.5) precise; urgency=low

  * softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py: Drop duplicate definition
    of on_treeview_sources_cursor_changed().
  * softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py: Fix crash when closing
    the application with the window title bar button. (LP: #911834)
  * add-apt-repository: Intercept ValueError in addition to URLError, as this
    is the error thrown when trying to decode invalid JSON (which happens on
    404 pages etc.). (LP: #861258)
  * softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py, _find_source_from_string():
    Reload the sources list before searching, as it might have changed while
    the D-BUS backend was running. (LP: #854818, #820150)
  * softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py: Add missing argument to
    menu popup() call. (LP: #815236)
