Bug Description

(This is an enhancement request. I don't know if this is the appropriate place for it or not, please let me know if I should raise this elsewhere.)

Choosing the "session" icon from the cinnamon menu opens a dialog box offering the choices:
- Suspend
- Restart
- Cancel
- Shutdown

If you miss the Suspend button and click on Restart, the system restarts with no warning or chance to abort. There should either be a confirmation dialog on choosing Restart, or the Suspend option should be physically separated from the other options somehow. (Suspend is fundamentally different, as it doesn't destroy any work, whereas Restart and Shutdown do.)

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with cinnamon 3.4.3-1~xenial0:

$ apt-cache policy cinnamon
