Actually for the menu in the panel the applicatoin launch bar the context menus on the panel all have escape working to close the dialog so this could be why someone would expect this behavior.
Another workaround press the super (windows key ) and d as the keyboard shortcut to show desktop. On lxpanel right click on the window that says lxsession logout and press close. Then in the menu system tools Task manager and terminate lxsession logout as it keeps a process going. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357721 Title: logout dialog doesn't go away when I press ESC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxsession/+bug/1357721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
