Public bug reported: Since October or September 2019, whenever I press the poweroff button on my laptop, in addition to receiving the usual "Would you like to... Lock, Restart, Power off" dialog, all open applications ask me if I really want to close them.
The attached photo shows an example of this behavior. It looks like the power off keystroke is not captured by Unity (or what other program is responsible for the showing the power off dialog) but also broadcast to all applications.
