logout dialog doesn't go away when I press ESC

[Tormod Volden]

After starting lxsession-logout (by clicking on the power symbol in the corner of the screen, or manually) pressing ESC doesn't cancel it again.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This also affects me. I found a workaround however alt f4 does close the dialog.

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.

I am with wxl, I don't remember this ever being the behavior of the logout screen. I think this is more feature request than a bug. Most LXDE popups do not close when ESC is pressed.

This actually got implemented in lxsession and is now in 15.04 as of the image preparing for beta 1 an now pressing escape closes the menu. Marking this as fix released.
