Hi, What a great little tool! One thing I noticed though; is that if you do not suspend the timer when inactive - when the micro break timer finishes after the break duration, it only continues the count down after mouse or keyboard input. This is annoying as I use Workrave when reading docs, and use the micro break prompt to look away from the screen / move etc. This is also noticed on Vista. Thanks for the good work =]

Workrave requires input to start a timer. How often are your micro-breaks? Can you give steps to reproduce your experience? Thanks, Ray

"Workrave requires input to start a timer." This is not good. not everyone uses workrave just for wrist rsi (i use for eye and walking breaks while looking at the screen and writing in paper notebook, not typing), so it should not require any input. I use a mac at work, which has the program called "Time Out". This one does not require any input to restart timer. Workrave should not either.

why require input, isn't that what the "suspend timer when inactive" option is for?

It seems 847 is a duplicate of this bug. I added a proposed solution to 847. So I'm marking this bug as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 847 ***
