Testcase: - Make sure input is blocked during breaks - Trigger a break - Press some of the "extended" keys, present on many multimedia keyboards these days (i.e. open a web-browser, e-mail, windows explorer, calculator, etc.) Expected result: - These keys are blocked. Nothing happens Actual result: - The break window starts flashing orange, to indicate that the keys are detected (correct behavior) - Still, a calculator, windows explorer, etc pops up (incorrect) Reproduces 100% with WR 1.9.0, and a Dell SK-8135 keyboard. I am not sure about other combinations.

This is known. If you are listening to music when the rest break kicks in it is still permissible to turn the volume down, mute it, etc. This is actually due to the way certain keypresses are processed in an "up" state or a "down" state. Workrave doesn't block the former. I don't know if there is any support for the keyboard to be restricted further. Anyone want to weigh in?
