Anyone else seeing this issue? Its a only minor annoyance, but in 9.10 the update manager fails to do anything when the "update" button is pressed if I wait "too long" before choosing to update after its opened.

I often get distracted while browsing and investigating the updates and when I get back to it, I have to close the update manager and reopen it to get anything to download and install.

All this happens before its asked me for the password, which is the first thing that happens when I press the update button when it works, when I've waited too long, nothing happens after I click the update button, at least not on any reasonable time scale.

Closing update manager, restarting it, and clicking update without a lot of delay is the solution.
