This bug is still present, even in the latest release (14.10).  Right
clicking on the stalled application in the sidebar results in a blank
name field (screenshot attached).

Title:
  Software Centre Installations stall if closed before auth

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The full title is: Software installations stall if the software centre
  is closed before the "authentication" dialog (enter in the
  adminstrator password) appears.

  To reproduce this bug, make sure that the software centre is closed,
  then open it. Download an application by clicking "install". Now,
  immediately close software centre. The application will appear in the
  launcher but will never install.

  I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu (approximately an hour ago
  as the time of this writing) and this error still occurs. Particularly
  problematic if the authentication dialog takes about 10 seconds to
  show. Reopening the software center does not make the stalled software
  install, nor does an authentication dialog appear.

  Restarting the system removes the stalled installation of the
  application (essentially cancelling the installation)

  
  What I expect to occur is the authentication dialog to appear and authenticate or to cancel the installation.
