Description Jeroen 2023-11-18 11:43:33 UTC

There are two minor annoyances in Kubuntu/KDE when switching to another logged in user:

Steps: 
- Kubuntu with at least two accounts configured
- Login into a user
- Switch to another user
- Login into this other user
- Switch user

Issue:
The system shows the other logged in user. The displayed username is: USER (on TTY1 (Display :0))
No ordinary user is interested in "(on TTY1 (Display :0))" or can even interpret what this means. This is technical nerd stuff. So either hide this information or show it below the username using a (far) smaller fontsize.

Step:
- Press "Switch To This Session". 

Issue:
-Personally I Don't Like This Typical American Way Of Showing Messages, but anyway, after pressing the button the password field is shown a few milliseconds and fades away immediately. Why? I want to switch user, so I want to enter the password without moving my mouse first to wake up the login screen.

Like stated before, only minor annoyances but resolving them makes Kubuntu/KDE computing friendlier ;-)

I encounter this on Kubuntu LTS 22.04 but I just reproduced it on KDE Neon with KDE 5.27.9.

Can you perhaps attach screenshots that show the issue? Or even better, a screen recording or even a shakycam phone recording? Thanks a lot!
