muti-monitor screenshot of the logout prompt with mouse over on the non-focused
screen
SUMMARY
When the logout prompt is invoked on a multi monitor system, there is an
individual logout prompt per screen. Each screen has its own state w.r.t. its
selection. This is very inconvenient, since there is not use case to that, but
one first needs to find the active screen in order to navigate with the
keyboard to the desired selection. The active screen is very hard to find,
since the only indicator is the highlighting effect of the currently selected
option. It is possible to alt-tab between the multiple logout prompts on
different screens selecting different options. Furthermore the mouse over might
highlight an option on the non-focused screen, making it very hard to guess
which option is triggered when pressing enter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a multi monitor system
2. press shutdown / logout / etc in the application launcher
3. navigate left / right with the keyboard to select another option in the
logout prompt
OBSERVED RESULT
selection is changed on a single screen only. highlighting is only present on a
single screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
selection is changed on all screens, highlighting is visible on all screens.
