            Bug ID: 432644
           Summary: Can't cancel/switch back to user in new session
                    dialog.
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.20.5
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
          Reporter: cysli...@posteo.de
                CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY

If you say switch user, you can not return to the user you switched away from
(without using key shortcuts).
You can only log in and thereby start a second session which most likely will
be corrupt or fail as a KDE session for this user already exists.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock screen of user X
2. Choose: Switch user
2. Press: Start new session
3. Try to get back to the user X' session. 

OBSERVED RESULT

You are only presented with the options to start a new session by logging in.
Not the option to switch sessions again. This is especially bad, as it seems
like logging into your account will do this, but it starts a new session.

EXPECTED RESULT

Option 1: 
Present "Switch session" button in new session view

Option 2: Preferred
Always show all users to choose from, even on lock screen. If that user has
already a session, reuse that session, else start a new one for that user.
