+ [Impact]
+
+ In MATE session, logout and shutdown dialogs sometimes don't get the
+ focus, and it's impossible to switch to them with Alt-Tab due to their
+ design. One has to use the mouse to switch there. Using Ctrl-Alt-Tab can
+ help as well, but I found out it doesn't work reliably in VirtualBox.
+
+ The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the
+ report.
+
+ Would be nice to have the fix backported to all current Ubuntu releases
+ (Xenial, Zesty and Artful). The bug is very annoying for users who rely
+ on keyboard shortcuts to navigate the desktop. It also can be considered
+ a11y issue.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ There are several ways to reproduce this issue. For me the most reliable
+ one is to use keyboard shortcut to call the shutdown dialog:
+
+ - press Ctrl-Alt-Del, the shutdown dialog appears, and it's usually focused
+ - press Esc to dismiss the dialog
+ - press Ctrl-Alt-Del again, now the shutdown dialog will appear unfocused
+
+ Now you need to use the mouse or Ctrl-Alt-Tab to interact with the
+ dialog.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ The fix just ensures that logout/shutdown dialogs will be always focused
+ when they appear on the screen. It means the dialog's behavior is
+ restored to what users expect. Nothing else is affected, so no chance
+ for regressions.
+
+ [Original Description]
+
+ Whether called by the power button (if configured as "Ask user") or by
clicking Quit in the menu, the shutdown options window does not have the
focus. It also does not appear in the windows when using alt-tab, making
it virtually impossible to shutdown without using the mouse/touchpad.
