What the bug description says

SUMMARY
***
The dialog box that pops up asking user to confirm send SIGKILL or SIGTERM is needlessly big, and the button to affirm is ambiguous in meaning
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Monitor and switch to the Applications tab.
2. Right-click on an entry within the applications list-table.
3. Hover over 'Send Signal' and choose 'Kill (KILL)' or 'Terminate (TERM)' from the dropdown menu that appears.

OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog box pops up. Not only is the dialog box very large - with about 50% of it being unused whitespace - the button to confirm is labelled 'Quit', which is ambiguous as to whether it means 'dismis and abort action' or 'confirm and go ahead with sending the signal'.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
Comment 1 Ilya Bizyaev 2022-11-19 21:14:52 UTC
On the same topic, applying the "Do not ask again" option cannot be undone — or at least I couldn't find a "Settings" page where such an option could be.

Be more explicit in kill button texts

Especially for Applications just "Quit" could be confusing if it
quits the Application or quits the dialog.
