Bug Description

To reproduce, click the gear icon in the top right then click "Restart". Or alternately, click the "Restart" button in Software Updater after installing certain updates.

I expect to just press Enter and the computer to restart. But the dialog that comes up defaults to "Show down" so pressing enter shuts down the computer instead of restarting it.

P.S. your bug reporting setup is terrible. Nothing on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage says what the package should be for reporting bugs with Ubuntu itself. In the end I chose "gnome-power-manager" but I don't think that's really the right one. And telling people to type a key combination then type "ubuntu-bug <package>" is terrible UI. The ubuntu-bug app doesn't even appear in the normal unity search with other applications so I can't just type "bug" and send you a report.
