[Bug 1000500] Re: Update manager won't open when clicked

[Todd Wilson]

I've had this problem for a few releases now.  It seems that the Update
Manager window is "open" somewhere, but clicking on the launcher icon
does not take me to it or change workspaces.  My workaround is to right-
click the launcher icon, select "Quit" from the menu (upon which the
number of packages to install disappears from the icon), and then click
on the icon once more, which always causes the application to launch
successfully.

This may be nothing, but I have a suspicion that it might be related to
a feature I've selected in the CompizConfig Settings Manager.  Under
General Settings -> Focus & Raise Behaviour, I have "Click to Focus",
"Raise on Click" and "Auto-raise" all unselected.  I've had similar
problems in other applications (e.g., Thunderbird) with windows not
being raised when the should be, possibly as a result of these settings.

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a reboot the update-manager appears in my Unity menu showing me

  At best a right click lets me "Install All Available Updates" but
  there isn't a review prior to this.
