As their is a small downward arrow on the shutdown field of the logout screen it should be possible to open the sub menu by holding the space bar key. Instead of dropping down the option after a while the computer is shut down immediately. On KDE 4.8 opening the sub menu worked using the space bar key. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click the desktop and click 'Leave' 2. Mark the 'Shutdown' button (with the arrow keys) 3. Hold the white space bar to open the sub menu Actual Results: Computer is shut down immediately. Expected Results: Sub menu opens.
@Lamarque: I added you to CC as I am not sure whether you monitor the bug component. This is an accessibility issue as it makes it impossible to operate the shutdown dialog with keyboard only.
