[Bug 1133107] Re: Hidden Microsoft ULA when installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ernie, that is one of the more creative insults I've seen in a bug
report. Joking aside, though, it's obvious that nobody "designed that
behavior". Nothing on the system knows that USC and the Debconf window
are related to each other: USC doesn't, Debconf doesn't, and the window
manager doesn't. So the window manager treats the Debconf window the
same way as it would treat any other surprisingly-opening window,
sometimes focusing it and sometimes not.

If you would like to help more constructively, you can consult the

  1. Launch Unbuntu Software Center.
  2. Begin installation of Ubuntu Restricted Extras.
  3. Application will appear to hang after a while.
  4. Popup displaying the Microsoft ULA is not being brought to the top so the app waits patiently for user input.
