If, after micro-break starts, I continue using the mouse for a little, the micro-break window starts blinking for the period equal to inactivity delay. Until this blinking stops, micro-break timer pauses. On most machines inactivity delay is 7 seconds, so this issue is not very noticeable but I set it to 60 seconds. So, if I continue moving the mouse for a second after micro-break starts, my micro-break is actually not 20-second micro-break (as I set it), but 1 minute 20 seconds long. I suggest the following solutions: 1) Disregard any activity during micro-break and not to pause the timer. It is the simplest solution, especially taking into account that input and screen are usually blocked during micro-break. 2) Deactivate inactivity delay during micro-breaks. So, if I continue using the mouse after micro-break starts, the timer should not pause for the period equal to activity delay but just reset. When I stop moving the mouse, the timer should start again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Workrave-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/workrave-user
