Description Duns 2024-03-13 16:46:41 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
Recently I noticed that my persistent problems with power commands (logout, reboot, shutdown) are linked with the expander text app "espanso". If I stop espanso power commands work, if not, no more.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install espanso in Wayland and set it as service, reboot.
2. You will no more able to use power commands
3. Stopping espanso, you will do successfully power commands

OBSERVED RESULT

Power commands no more working if espanso is running


EXPECTED RESULT

Power commands should work even with espanso running

i've installed espanso it indeed blocks logout and shutdown.  it seems kwin_killer_helper is not able to kill espanso and blocks the action.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/06/2024 and also
has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble
24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after
upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
