Trusty 14.04 is set to release April 26th and this is still an issue. Perhaps the easiest solution would be to remove the restart option from that menu and rename "Shutdown..." to "Restart/Shutdown..." or "Power Off...". While this is not a security issue or performance drain, it is something every user will notice right away. I feel that an LTS release should have these sorts of things very polished and clear.

Selecting the power-cog > restart should result in the popup highlighting/pre-selecting Restart so users only have to hit Enter. Presently users who select "Restart" from the power-cog menu have to then use the cursor keys to actually select "Restart" else a shutdown will occur. It makes no sense to put "Restart" in the power-cog menu only to have the popup that appears highlight "Shutdown" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/1250262/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
