A wish: one click silent mode while ringing

[GTriderXC]

I switched to Ubuntu phone from an old Nokia device. One of the things I miss is a possibility to quiet the ringing phone without rejecting the incoming call. Yes, I know I can press the "down" button of a volume adjustment but this way I'm turning off all future notifications. On a meeting, training course, while talking with my boss, or just at any other place as well as one time, short lasting situation I'd like to be able to suddenly shut the "mouth" of the phone, only this one time, not completely till the moment I press the "UP" button of a volume control (what the user definitely forget and the phone will stay silent while the next message comes or while the next important incoming phone call).

All Nokia phones gave us a chance to press a "Silent" button while incoming phone call so that the phone kept on ringing in an one time silent mode. That gave us an opportunity for example to leave the meeting room with a silent ringing phone, without having to reject the incoming connection, answering it as well as making the phone silent for all future messages, calls etc. I find the way it works today a little bit primitive that I have to make the phone silent and then again increase the volume. Just imagine You have to do it 5-10-20 times on a meeting or everyday at work: volume down, volume up; volume down, volume up; volume down, volume up...

It does not make fun and I miss my 5140, 5500 or e52

If you press the power button, it will stop ringing without disconnecting the call. Is that what you're looking for?

Exactly that's what I was looking for. Thanx.
But You know... again the question is... how a user like my mother should know about this possibility. Theoretically this bug should be now closed. Practically I'd change it's decription to "lack of information on the screen about the possibility which I mentioned above".
My Aquaris with Ubuntu was at first a birthday present for my mother. If Ubuntu phone is a system for power users, then the bug is not valid any more. If Ubuntu Phone is supposed to be a system for everyone (as the name Ubuntu suggest) then this bug report shows again how unintuitive the system is today. I few days ago I posted a similar one about the notification area. I had the phone for a year and didn't know how to correctly use it.
