Title:
  Focus was stolen by a software update notification

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello ubuntu devs!

  Here's the story, with a bit of luck you'll be able to reproduce the
  same.

  1) I started up my machine, logged into Gnome session
  2) I opened a text editor and was working on some text
  3) then, all of sudden, a notification popup appeared, saying that there're some software updates are available. 

  That notification window stolen the focus from the previously active
  window (which was a text editor) and the selection was put for one of
  the buttons on that window. I seem there were like two or three
  buttons there, like "Confirm & download", "Cancel" and probably
  something else. Can't really remember BECAUSE this sudden focus
  stealing cought me in the moment when I was pressing space in the text
  editor, and, thanks for stealing the focus, that space key was
  received by the notification window. So I confirmed something, but I
  cannot even say what it was.

  I'd say generally, it's not a big deal that I have unwillingly
  confirmed on installing some updates (even though I wouldn't have done
  that, not yet), but in general stealing focus is something most of the
  users are blaming and hating Windows for, and it's quite disappointing
  to see, some of the software in our lovely linux distribution is
  acting alike.

  
  Running 22.10 on x86_64

  Sorry for putting the blank for a package name, but I'm guessing it
  should be just some single gnome-related application or whatever
  applet/plugin, which notifies user about updates being available.
