Micro-break too long because timer pauses

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.
