When screen blocking is active, a click on empty screen area leads to an absolute empty screen without ability to skip or postpone micropause or rest break. After pause time is out, screen blocking deactivates in usual way.

I've noticed such a behavior only with Windows 2000. As to Windows XP, after clicking on an empty space, the micropause (or rest) window hide, but then popup again, and it's possible to skip or postpone pause.

To clarify, you write the bug is present on Windows 2000 and your report indicates version 1.9.0. Please confirm. What type of block mode do you have set for that OS?

Fix applied. Please try this recent build and tell us if you experience the same problem.

Build 0127 fixes the problem.
There's no screen locks anymore when "Block input and screen" mode enabled.
