I've noticed that when I'm "idle" workrave will stop all counters. I would expect workrave to keep counting down to my breaks.

By idle I mean the way something like AIM defines it. I've stop clicking and I've stopped typing, but I'm reading the screen and therefore working on the computer. However; workrave stops counting down to my breaks, and that's not good. If anything I need my breaks more for things like that since I'm staring at the screen so much.

I can't find any option to have the timers for my breaks keep counting even if I haven't typed or clicked in the last 3 seconds or so.



Though having a pause button so I don't have to close workrave during meetings would be nice. I know I can right click on the icon in the task bar, but a pause button next to the timers would be nice as well. Or a button that toggles between working and not working. Working would have all timers going, while not working would freeze all timers (and stop all breaks).

Workrave has a 'reading mode' option for this. In 'reading mode' the timers will not stop when you become idle. They will stop when the break starts.

Forgot to close bug. Feature already present (reading mode). And during meeting you can set Workrave to quiet or suspended.
