SUMMARY When I'm trying to log out; restart; or power off the computer, Plasma pops up a prompt re-asking me if I want to do any of those three actions, rather than just confirming the action I already selected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select Log out/Restart/Power off from the panel OBSERVED RESULT Plasma pops up a prompt re-asking me if I want to do any of those three actions. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma pops up a prompt confirming I want to do the action I already invoked. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 39 (KDE Plasma) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11
Just to confirm, is this about the UX being a bit weird or is it completely broken. Does it have the text "[performing action] in 30 seconds" ?
My understanding was that it's the UX being weird, but Neal should confirm.
It is the UX being weird. It causes me to accidentally do a different action sometimes too.

Git commit aeafc00970259e5f1594f284e2bef30a50975688 by Nate Graham. Committed on 29/01/2024 at 16:56. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Simplify logout greeter UI when invoked with a specific option Right now the logout greeter always shows all available power/session actions (except for Lock, for some reason) regardless of how it was invoked, plus a cancel button and an OK button. As a result, though it is essentially a confirmation screen, it offers the user options to change their mind after the fact and perform a different action from the one they started with, including those like Sleep and Hibernate that don't exit the session at all. This isn't ideal as it presents a somewhat strange and cluttered UI to the user, full of options that are unlikely to be used. To improve the situation, when the dialog is invoked with a specific option, now we only show that option plus a cancel button. When the dialog is *not* invoked with any option, (e.g. from the off-by-default "Leave" item in the desktop context menu, or the Ctrl+Alt+Delete global shortcut), all options are still shown, with "Shut Down" pre-selected--as was the prior intention, but it wasn't working. This required some re-plumbing as the dialog wasn't previously designed to support this kind of dual-mode operation. The greeter's windowed test mode is also updated to always show all available options.
