Before you press the corresponding menu entry, but after already

Thank you Axel for the detailed and clear explanation.
I admit i've never noted the string in the status bar...
So maybe we should be a little bit more verbose with the short
description in the menu or maybe even split "Cancel pending actions"
into two separate menu entries:
* Cancel pending actions of this session
* Cancel all pending actions
or similar.
It will be wonderful to have two entries, because "Cancel all pending
actions" is quite self explanatory, will match the previous behaviour
and users should not be surprised upgrading from Debian 8 to 9.
But isn't it too late for Stretch?
Anyway, I think that making a note at least in NEWS.Debian could be helpful.
Cesare.
