ellipsis-new
The fact that any have ellipsis at all is probably unnecessary. We don't generally use ellipsis in cases where the "further action required" is a simple confirmation that the user means what they say. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/6048 Git commit 27b4aaae7d6395e3c6a0a77e812aeb3ddf5cef44 by Shubham Arora, on behalf of Nate Graham. Committed on 26/11/2025 at 18:31. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/lock_logout: correct some labels "shutdown" and "logout" are nouns, not verbs. And "Switch user" needs ellipsis since it always requires further action before taking effect. But "shut down", "restart", and "log out" don't, since we don't generally use ellipses for actions where the "further action required" is just a simple confirmation of the user's intention.

Created attachment 159619 [details] ellipsis SUMMARY Ellipsis by convention indicates that a UI element has further options to show, once clicked. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Disable confirmation for logout/shutdown under System Settings 1. Add the lock/logout widget to a panel 2. Make sure that logout/lock/reboot/shutdown options are enabled 3. Hover over the 4 icons, one by one OBSERVED RESULT Tooltips contain ellipsis when describing the action triggered by a user click EXPECTED RESULT Tooltips should not contain ellipsis when describing the action triggered by a user click, since the action would take place immediately without further user interaction/confirmation SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Can't catch the tooltip when capturing the screenshot.
