SUMMARY
On shutting down KDE neon, the neon atom's electron structure logo thing and the spinning circle come up. After they're gone, the screen is momentarily black and then there's a ghost image of the end logo and circle, with the circle frozen. This ghost image remains for about 10 seconds, before the system shuts down fully.
This was not there before.
Also reproduced in the live images of Unstable and Testing (yet to check User, but my current install is KDE neon User)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. shut down KDE neon (I don't know if this happens with other distros, I haven't tried. However, this started happening only recently (about 2 weeks ago). 


OBSERVED RESULT
After the logo and spinning circle are gone, a ghost image of the logo and a frozen spinner show up.

EXPECTED RESULT
After the shut down splash screen is gone, the system should shut down without the frozen image.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 strangequark 2021-08-20 06:00:36 UTC

The frozen image of the shut down logo remains for almost exactly 16 seconds, consistently.

Comment 2 strangequark 2021-09-14 09:11:52 UTC

This frozen image does not happen when there's the details screen during shutdown. When Alt-Tabbing when the logo appears, and the shutdown details of services is shown, the system shuts down instantly after everything's done, without showing any frozen images. 
However, if I don't go to the details screen during shutdown, the frozen image still appears.

Comment 3 strangequark 2021-09-14 16:48:56 UTC

The frozen image also does not happen when 'Details' is chosen under 'Boot Splash Screen' in Settings, which I guess is the same thing as triggering it using alt-tab? 

Anyway, I've found a workaround, so am I supposed to mark the bug as RESOLVED, or does anyone else do it? I'm relatively new to this bug tracking system. Thanks in advance

Comment 4 strangequark 2021-09-22 12:04:08 UTC

...just installed Kubuntu (because my neon died out), and the bug is there too. Jeez, annoying.

Anyway, this isn't a neon problem, so I'm closing the bug.
