The only way to close Preference window after delay with password entering is to kill pamac process
Pamac --version
Pamac 10.3.0-4 - libpamac 11.2.0
Variant in use
GUI
Distribution
Manjaro
Desktop environment
KDE
What's not working
Exit from Preference window after some 15-20 minutes delay w/o entering password again.
How to reproduce?
- Open pamac gui
- Open Preferences window
- Enter password
- Change something
- Wait 20 minutes (you can switch to any other GUI windows like forget about pamac window or postpone your further actions there)
- Switch back to Preferences window. Try to close Preferences window.
- Password prompt will appear. Cancel password entering. After 2-3 tries you will see what pamac does not ask password and will get unclosable Preference window. Need to kill
pamac-manager
in order to get rid of that opened Preference window.
More information (optional)
Perhaps the issue is the same if nothing to change in Preferences and to try to close the window after mentioned delay.
