KDE: Start New Session does not work from lock screen

Hello. I have a problem which almost the same as in previous topic with this name but a little different.

First of all, I have up-to-date Arch system, NVidia GPU with latest drivers and "nvidia" is mentioned in xorg.conf. I've installed plasma-next so now my plasma version is 5.1.2-1.

I can start a new session from KDE menu. BUT I am not able to do this from lockscreen i.e. when I click the button that should start new session, nothing happens. Even no xorg logs is produced.

However I able to start new session from KDE menu and then switch from lockscreen to.

Did you get this figured out? I just upgraded to plasma 5.2 and am having the same issue.
