Every time a Workrave window pops up or when I right-click the tray icon so the menu pops up my Wacom tablet behaves weird. I have a Wacom Graphire 2 USB and I use it on a setup with 2 monitors. My right (primary) monitor has the resolution of 1280x960. My left monitor is running on 1152x768. This causes the right half of my tablet to be active for the right monitor and the left half of the tablet for the left monitor. When I'm for example popping up the tray icon menu (which doesn't seem to disappear without selecting one of the menu options) my tablet behaviour changes. The left half of the tablet is suddenly working for the right (primary) monitor. The right half of the tablet appears to be 'out of range' causing my cursor to be at the most right pixels on my right monitor. The Y-axis reacts fine. When I'm not having an active Workrave window everything is back to normal. That is until I get a micropause popup. The micropause popup does not affect my cursor until I'm actually taking the break. The actual Micropause break window (with buttons skip etc.) starts causing trouble. Not a big problem as I'm supposed to take a break anyway, but sometimes I have to wait a couple more second after the micropause window disappeared. (I'm running Windows XP, with Ultramon for the dual monitor support. A nVidia Ti4200 with Dualhead enabled.)

I'm closing this more than 4 year old bug because: - I have never been able to reproduce it in past because I didn't have a tablet. - I have not been able to reproduce it with version 1.9.0 and a Wacom Bamboo tablet. - Workrave's activity monitor has changed a lot in the last 4 years. It has become less intrusive, It is very likely that the problem as you describe it is gone because of these changes Feel free to reopen the bug if you still can reproduce the problem with a recent version of Workrave.
