When I send my PC into "stand by" mode, and come back from the sleep, the natural break window appears at once, with (almost) full time.

Suggestion: If Workrave can get a notification before the computer goes to sleep (I would assume it can), it could regard the time from then until the computer wakes up as inactivity.

Could you please check if Workrave 1.9.4 fixes the problem. You can download it from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/workrave/files/workrave/1.9.4/workrave-win32-v1.9.4-installer.exe/download

Thanks.

Yes, the problem has been fixed. Thank you!

1.10 on Windows 8.1 still does this. I even thought this was a feature of some sort, decided to write about it since it was proving detrimental to my productivity:

If I put the machine to sleep before the rest break, great, it counts as a break. 

But when I get the break reminder and THEN put my machine to sleep, it doesn't count. Because when I come back, after a few seconds of sinking back into my work, it locks out to a break... I just had one!!

So then I resort to leaving the machine on while on break, but it's never as good as the screen off and actively pulling away from the screen. I use this to control my ADD tendencies, and this one thing makes me want to dive into the code to see if I could fix it myself. 

Thanks for the work you did for this app and releasing it to the world for free. I hope to do the same with my projects.
