That defies logic and lessens product quality. I thought this testing period is being done to correct errors. Seems like it would be a simple matter to remove the options that do not work. Leaving the options in may lead others to file bug reports. 1858285 6 kde 2019-05-23 17:05:55 +0000 I was merely stating what is going on for anyone who wants to pick up this bug report. Having the startup sound not block the login was apparently deemed more important than logging something to disk when that happens, I'm afraid. This bug can probably be fixed but is very low priority. 1858288 7 rcss 2019-05-23 17:13:20 +0000 (In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #6) > I was merely stating what is going on for anyone who wants to pick up this > bug report.

This bug can probably be fixed but is very low priority. Thank you for the clarification. I understand the low priority. Just think the option should be removed until it works or at least have a note posted saying it may not work.
