tiny mouse movements may trigger the timer to restart. Possibly add a feature to adjust the mouse-sensitivity.?.? Thank you. GREAT product, btw. :)

Hi, Sorry to bother you again for a clarification. If I recall correctly, there is already a "tiny mouse movement detection" algorithm in workrave, so in theory what you describe should not happen. There is also an "accidental large movement detection" algorithm in workrave. Basically, you have to do at least two things (move/click mouse, press key), one second apart, before workrave considers you active. So, just to be sure, your problem is that: - You are not touching mouse or keyboard - Your mouse generates noise that is larger than the detection threshold already in workrave - Your mouse does this over a longer period of time, such that workrave considers you active. Do you think this accurately describes your problem? Again, many thanks!
