[Bug 2070150] Re: Cannot move a window of a pop-up with error message

Hum, I did not anticipate that. Don't all new windows grab focus in
Gnome?

That is true, as they are now disconnected it could show up in e.g. a
different workspace. I did not see that as much of a problem because the
error message is clear about what process went wrong (upgrades), but
pretty sure the UX principles are indeed violated there.

> the log is available on disk

That is probably a better alternative, include the path to the log in
the error message?

Title:
  Cannot move a window of a pop-up with error message

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1. Currently lsb_release -rd show me Description:       Ubuntu 24.04
  LTS, but it seems I don't completely update from the 23.x version

  2. apt-cache policy update-manager
  update-manager:
    Installed: 1:24.04.6
    Candidate: 1:24.04.6
    Version table:
   *** 1:24.04.6 500

  3. I upgraded the Linux from 23.x to 24.10. During the installation, a failure happened, and was appeared a pop-up with a message "Could not install the upgrades" . When I tried to move this pop-up apart (not to close, because if I close the pop-up, the entire window is going to close), the "Distribution Upgrade" entire window moved instead of the pop-up only (what I expected to happen).
  How does it look:

  P.S. For something reason, there is no mouse pointer on the video, so it's not clear I did move the pop-up, not entire window
