No, but then I always just go to a command prompt and do a 'sudo apt update', then 'sudo apt upgrade' . Done. Easy peasy. My DE is KDE. Never use GUI updaters....

I can use terminal but it would not help much solving this bug.
BTW There are users who will never use command line.
See if you get lucky by changing your gtk theme. I agree with rclark. My updater always says apt is running. So I close it and
Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
when that happens.
I've run Xfce, update-manager has asked for password (unlike the IceWM). I've entered it and updates were successfully installed. update-manager in IceWM works fine since then (same theme).

Your right, that it will not help with bug, but will certainly get your machine updated... As for mouse cripples, your right. Fight that fight every time one of 'em gets hired out of college and we have to train them to do 'basic' things on the command line (in Windoze as we are a M$ shop at work for the most part).
We tried to hire Applied (meaning a Math/Physics/Electronic background component) Computer Science Bachelor of Science majors (4-5 years) mostly as we were doing real-time SCADA work for hydro/substation/communication projects. Not 'business' applications. Towards the end of my supervisor duty days, it was getting harder to find good applicants as colleges seemed to be 'watering down' the degree programs... Converting decimal to hex/octal/binary and visa-versa was even 'hard' for most applicants. Basic number skills was being lost as well as command line skills. Ask about 8 bit ASCII in an interview and some were 'lost'.

Do you mean please small, "easy" numbers or big ?

West is on the decline, Asia is on the rise.
Maybe the decline is visible on software development too.
