I haven't been able to reproduce this in what will become Plasma 5.3 (beta out this week).
But you could in 5.2.2? It's been 10 days and I don't see 5.3 in TW.
As Dan said in the report, manual disabling of KScreen will do it.
The instruction he put in his comment seems to be invalid, as I commented in the bug.
3-compared to KDE3/4, too much mousing required to log off
Personal preference.
My personal preference is not to have arthritis, but that is not an option. The mousing required is difficult, as it requires a longish and accurate sweep right to not shift focus to selection above or below, difficult motion for anyone whose mousing ability is less than perfect, followed by a the sweep up, extra actions which were required in KDE3 or KDE4, an A11Y & U7Y shortcoming new to v5.
4-compared to KDE3/4, extra mouse click required to see recent *
Personal preference.
There'a a whole world of blank space above the application menu Win95, KDE3 and KDE4 put to excellent use that NAICT v5 does not even offer to put to use.
5-items from KDE4's application menu settings missing in KF5's
Can you elaborate on which?
v4 left column had 3 items: view, options, KB shortcuts v5 only has 2: general, KB shortcuts v4 view had a nice long list from which starter menu items could be selected/deselected via checkboxes, from which I could have only log out as an exit option, which is not available in v5 (forcing use of a submenu from which I only ever select log out), and included "run command" as an option selected by default. v5 general has 5 items, a sort of a subset of items available in the v4 options tab. v5 lacks recently used count (that I always up'd from 5 to 10 or 12), show menu titles (off by default that I always turn on), show recently installed (I switch default enable to disable).
6-application menu settings' "Show applications as:" select list much too narrow until opened
Was a bug filed upstream?
I don't remember whether I even looked or not. This is representative of layouts throughout the environment designed by 96 DPI users with average or better vision for 96 DPI users with average or better vision. Design that anticipates people ever use higher density displays or ever have poorer than average vision not as bad as requires assistive technology, as happens virtually universally not in web design, is apparently not a v5 design consideration.
7-where did "run command" menu selection go (RC only available if desktop accessible to reach its context menu)?
You mean on desktop right click?
That only works for people can see some portion of the desktop to click on, which is a rarity here. Some people need big screens so stuff can be big instead of for having lots of stuff.
Or do you mean a lack of shortcuts (Alt-F2 and Alt-Space are upstream defaults)?
It's missing from the application menu, no item to click there as is by default in v4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
