Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux I noticed that my desktop was about to log out (no clue why, maybe an accidental key combo). I had 2 seconds remaining, so my panic instinct was to push Esc to abort. That had no effect, and I watched in horror as KDE proceeded to log me out, destroying my work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Push Esc when it is counting down. Actual Results: Nothing happens, countdown continues. Expected Results: Log out/Restart/Shut down should have been aborted. In addition these do not work to abort either: Ctrl-C (wouldn't necessarily expect it to), Alt-C (the C in Cancel is underlined, so this is a bug). Clicking the window doesn't make any difference, so it doesn't seem to be a focus issue, unless the window is not focusable?
ESC closes the shutdown dialog as expected here. Once the shutdown procedure starts there is not way to interrupt it.
Alt-C and ESC work fine in the logout/shutdown dialog with KDE 4.9.0
