After upgrade to Mavericks shutdown with start button doesn't work

Hallo!


I have a MacBookPro 15"/ 2,66 GHz/ Intel i7 (before upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9.x was installed):


It was always possible to press the start button for about 1 second and this opened a popup where you could chosse "shut down", "sleep" or "cancle". After the upgrade to Mavericks this function doesn't work any more. When I press the start button the MBP goes into the sleep mode.


Any idea what happened to this feature?



Thanks

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

The feature is still there, but the power button function changed with Mavericks to be like this:


one-click = put the machine to sleep

click and hold (3 secs) = display shutdown dialog box

click and hold (10 secs) = hard power off
