Description

Pressing the (left) mouse button and then (slowly) dragging the mouse doesn't
count as activity. In some cases this is a bit annyoing. Like when I use my
image editor and carefully draw a selection this drawing can take some time.
However if a (micro) break is due it will popup regardless of my current "input"
activity. My image editor doesn't like this and sometimes crashes...

Note: You can easily reproduce this: Wait for a micro break nag screen then
press a mouse button.
Note 2: Most likely this also has to do with the fact that I do not move the
mouse cursor or move only very slowly. But the button is pressed.
Note 3: Maybe this has to do with Bug 349, maybe not.


Anyway: Workrave is an awful piece of work. I think it helped me lots!

Because optical mice tend to drift a little, Workrave ignores very small mouse
movements. Raymond suggested to ignore only small movements when no mouse button
is pressed. This has now been implemented. Small movement are still ignored when
no mouse button is pressed.
