Works as expected in Xubuntu 18.10. Must be something in the ubuntu-
session policykit/PAM/systemd auth?

Title:
receive authentication canceled in terminal when changing options in
"Other Software"
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've tried to disable some PPAs in the "Other Software" tab of
software-properties and whenever I check a box for the first time I
get a message in the terminal about "ERROR:root:Authentication
canceled, changes have not been saved" (although an authentication
dialog has not appeared) and the dialog box greys out. 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
