[Bug 1831332] Re: Huge stack of credential dialogs when switching user

[Jussi Lind]

Hmmm...I'm now thinking that maybe the auth dialog is still asking for
the password of the previous user? Need to test this when this happens
the next time.

Title:
  Huge stack of credential dialogs when switching user

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce (not 100% sure of this, but has happened multiple
  times):

  1) Have two user accounts
  2) Login to desktop
  3) Put the laptop to sleep etc for many hours
  4) Login as a different user

  What happens:

  A dialog asking credentials for updates is opened. After accepting or
  canceling the dialog a new one is immediately opened (or it already
  was behind the topmost dialog). Sometimes you need to click cancel 50
  times before the dialogs stop appearing. This also pauses the desktop
  fade in animation and the animation proceeds gradually on each dialog.

  This did not happen on 18.04 LTS.

  I'll try to record a video of this, but it doesn't always happen or
  depends on how long there has been between the user switch.
