Resignation Confirmation

When I've had other players want to resign, I've received a confirmation with a yes/no option to accept (until I turned on the auto accept option anyway). I assumed after I flagged to resign that it was just waiting for the opponent to confirm it. I didn't realise you had to flag twice to resign. It's not obvious imho.

Would it be possible to bring up a notification saying "flag again to resign" or something along those lines? Obviously bringing up the yes/no box would be a bad idea as it might be your opponent resigning at the same time and you might not realise... :)
I have tried resigning (with the flag) and nothing happens.... it turns red momentarily, and then goes back to white/semi-transparent. I have tried clicking it multiple times, and nothing happens. I end up leaving the match because it's not like I'm offering a draw and need to wait for acceptance, I'm resigning! It's false imprisonment otherwise! I joke, but is this a bug, or just a design issue? Also, is there a lichess.org documentation section I'm missing? I found the FAQ, which mentions multiple players abandoning matches, and I am not sure if it's due to the strange way that resignation works.
