When I start using my computer again after standby, Workrave sometimes puts me in an "invisible" rest break. For the duration of the rest break, I can see everything on the screen, but I cannot use my keyboard or click my mouse. I just have to wait a few minutes until I hear the "rest break ended" sound, and then it works again.

I am able to Ctrl+Shift+Esc, but I can't click on anything once the task manager opens. I can also Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart my machine and such, but not use the task manager.

I can move my mouse around the screen, but the only thing I can do with it is right-click on the Workrave icon in the systray. Unfortunately, I can't left-click on the Workrave menu that appears.

I have a few questions:
What are the timer values when coming back from standby.
Are they the same as before going to standby ?
are they way overdue? 
Are you using networking support? 
Was a break active when going to standby?
Is it possible that the break window is hidden behind some other windows?

Fixed in Workrave 1.8.5
